Esperanto is still very easy to learn for Asians, at least more than natural languages. Some of its largest support comes from China, including being taught in grade school, giving university degrees and Radio Peking broadcasts since 1964¹.

On top of that, the premise that Esperanto belongs to the western family is not accurate. "Esperanto is basically an isolating language".²
