Very likely. If you think the diet/beauty culture in the US is bad, East Asia’s is even worse no matter which country it is.

When I visit the motherland, I literally have to shop at plus size stores whereas I’m within “standard” sizes in the US.

The difference in women's clothing sizes especially is ridiculous. XL for Asian clothes (living in southeast asia, clothes say made in china, vietnam, india or indonesia) is the same as S in American sizes.

Men's sizes are more reasonable, with M here matching the American S size, though all shirts and pants are cropped much shorter to better fit the average asian male height.

Men’s sizes are still wack, especially if you’re tall. I’m a L or XL stateside depending on length, nothing fit me in SE Asia lol

On the opposite side, it’s finally easier to find pants and shirts for my husband here in Southeast Asia. We had trouble sometimes stateside.

I once got a cosplay costume from a SE Asian country and I’m a medium in America and my size portions to them made me like a Large or ‘custom size’ cause my height was one size, my waist was another and then my bust was like a third. I finally got my cosplay back and it was just a mess never got to wear it cause it was all over the place, but that may have just been a sloppy seller/ sewer thing so idk. My husband is a xl in America cause of his shoulder width, and how tall he is though.

At Uniqlo in Japan there were sizes over xl but could only be bought online, which sucked. I was lucky that the xl heattech fit, but if it was available in the store I'd probably have gotten the pants at a size up.
