Well with the USSR not existing then it is unlikely the Nazis will come to power in Germany as they played alot on the fear of Communism spreading throughout Europe. Russia will likely devolve into a state of warlords, some communist, some Imperialiast, some democratic, some fascist-like, some theocratic, etc.

As for the Chinese Civil War, it is far easier to avoid it in the first place, just have the Qing Dynasty survive. In fact the overthrow of the Qing Dynaty in OTL would be scoffed at as ASB if it appeared in ATL, so this isnt too hard. Under Puyi, the Chinese Empire will likely remain weak and corrupt making it ripe for the Japanese invasion. That is if Japan doesnt decide to take advantage of a very weak Russia and exploit Siberia instead.

If Imperial China is still invaded by Japan, and the US is dragged into the war, like OTL resulting Japans loss, then Korea is very likely going to drift into the Chinese orbit, especially without a powerful communist nation like the USSR to set up a puppet regime in the north, or alternatively it could become part of the American sphere of influence. It could go either way, Syngman Rhee is going to play a very pivotal role in this.

Vietnam could go into the Chinese orbit, a Franco-Chinese Alliance results in the defeat of the Viet Minh, and the death of their leader Ho Chi Minh. The French withdrawal in an orderly fashion in the mid to late 1960's, allowing them to save face. After the French leave either the Vietnamese Emperor or Ngô Đình Diệm will become the puppet of the Chinese, if its the latter, a Vietnamese royal restoration is not out of the question after his death.

China becomes a technocratic paternalist empire as Hendryk once wrote of in his excellent timeline Superpower Empire, dominating Indochina culturally, economically and politically. This China will be large and very powerful being the size of todays OTL China, plus Mongolia, Taiwan, and probably parts of modern day Russia such as the port city of Vladivostok (Hǎishēnwǎi) in Chinese.

If World War II by some miracle does occur, then the Russians will be steamrolled by the Germans without strong leadership, and after the war, assuming the Germans still lose, will be a major project for the western allies as they try to form a coalition government. Eventually this Russia will likely become a Parliamentary Republic or Constitutional Monarchy, with the US, UK, France and Canada choosing one faction and giving them major support over the others.

Russia could be divided into a pro-western government west of the Urals, and a pro-Chinese faction in the east, or Siberia could become a Chinese colony if they emerge powerful enough fast enough, though I am just speculating at this.
