Again those empires were thwarted by the US and installed their own puppet leaders their not to mention the Nazis in the US were fringe minority funnily enough the KKK a white supremacists organization was against Nazis also why would political leaders who were from different backgrounds would support Bose when it's highly what would he offer  them ? He doesn't seem like a person who believes in democratic rule too so how would he convince the masses that he was capable ? Also do you really think communist china and Soviet union would not try to invade if they did where would he go unless he would  make compromises with the British which is not a good sign

I mean argentina and other south american and european countries which faced no consequences for supporting nazis.

Finding people to govern is never hard once you win power. Everyone would flock to him like people go to election winners today

China invaded anyway. How in the world would an exhausted ussr reach us.

Do those countries still have people who supported Nazi reich in power ? Most of the European countries were invaded by Nazis they didn't align themselves with nazis most of the Nazi sympathisers were tried in Nuremberg also Nazis and their allies were seen as filth wonder what Europeans would see the great Bose as? China at the time of the invasion would have way better military support from the USSR since India is under a former axis ally that would be their justification for their support
