The honest answer to that is we do not know. No one here knows what the agreements are between SE and the companies that allow the came to be accessed in China and Korea.

However, both the Panda Bear (Chinese exclusive minion) and the Magpie (Korean exclusive minion), were reskins of already existing assets that SE owned from FFXIV. Nana bear and blue bird. In fact, all of the exclusive items have been made in house by the FFXIV Development team, meaning the assets are already owned by SE. What we don't know is if there are contractual obligations keeping them from distributing them in other regions.
