Fate of a ˝true˝ Great Asian Co-prospherity Sphere?

How would a Great Asian Co-prospherity Sphere do in the war against the Allies if it had been more than a fancy term? This assumes far less abusive practices by the Japanese, which lead to active and willing participation of the inhabitants of China, Korea and other lands in the war effort which is portrayed as an anti-imperialist race war. Could this bloc avoid defeat? If not, how long would it last, and what would be the fate of Korea and China afterwards?
 
Why are they fighting, exactly?

A China allied to Japan is an interesting POD floating around the margins of OTL, but unless it's an antimperialist war against Britain and France.... why would America care?

Japan starts to fund an insurgency in the Philippines.
 
A genuine Great Asian Co-prospherity Sphere would have to be one without China or it would be utterly dominated by it within a generation or so.
But yes, I think it could be done with an early PoD and a different Japan in the time from 1905 on. Basically the Asian equivalent of Mitteleuropa. Which is another reason for not having China in it: A big strong China as a threat, would help Japan keep its clients on board without direct physical force same as the threat of a resurgent Russian Empire would for a Germany victorious in WW1.

Only if China is United, if Japan makes deals with the Warlords and their "states" none of them alone could be a singificient danger and Japanese cooperations could explode China's manpower and riches, just like thei wished to do.
