How come ISIS does not attack China or Japan or other Asian countries?
Do they have no hatred for Asian countries?
Is it solely the Western society that they are after? But that wouldn't make sense: they bomb Middle Eastern targets, as well as Eastern European targets, namely, Turkey.
ISIS operates in a region under direct western (including Russian) influence, where several countries have been bombed and invaded by the USA, UK, France, etc. for years. Also, from a theological and historical perspective, they can argue they are going against Christianity (which has been going against Islam for a thousand years), and conquering Europe is the one of the oldest Muslim dreams there is since the Ottomans were stopped in eastern Europe.
So it's not that they like better the Chinese and Japanese, just that they are lower on their priorities! It should be noted that the Chinese have terrorism problems with its Uyghur (Turkish speaking Muslim population living in the West) as well. Japan would be really impractical to attack as they have practically no Muslims population at all (Western Europe on the other hand is really easy to target as the Muslim population there is huge, and the refugees crisis makes it even easier for ISIS to send its armed soldiers).
Because China didn't participate in dropping bombs on Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan, China don't care about what happens in the middle east, they are busy fighting their own inside terrorism (for them, terrorism is anyone that have thoughts, say things, or their behavior show that they are against the rule of the communist party), so ISIS don't care about China either, they have nothing against China. USA and its allies wanted a war against Islam, they got it, that's why the terrorists bombings happen in countries that supported USA in its war.
To paraphrase part of the question:
Question: Why don't Muslims wage jihad within Japan?
Answer: There are (almost) no Muslims in Japan.
According to http://www.masjid.jp/list.html, there are about 60 small mosques in Japan. This is consistent with estimates of a Muslim population of "a few thousand", many of whom are non-practicing Japanese spouses.
The CIA's World Factbook estimates Japan's population as being about 126 million. (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/resources/the-world-factbook/geos/ja.html)
Because freedom, Christianity, Jews and Shia are their main enemy.
And they want to bring the caliphate to the whole world, well why Europe and USA target?
Because according to them these countries have given a lot of freedom to their people and interfering as well with the middle eastern concerns.
Well wait for the day when China and Japan will attack ISIS they will revert. Well if you look at Chinese Uyghur Muslims, they are controlled very harshly by Chinese government. So it's a bit challenging to plan some big attacks in China. As there are very little Muslim population in Japan the same goes here too. As far as India is concerned, I can't say none, but a negligible fraction of Muslims support ISIS.
ISIL does not attack Asian countriesYou're wrong. For example, Attack on Indonesia
