Well lactose intolerant doesn’t mean you can’t have any dairy at all. I think it means you have to manage your lactose intake. They can still have it in moderation (maybe not everyone, but in a lot of cases)
I’m not east asian myself so I can’t speak from personal experience, but I was listening to this english scholar explain different regions of chinese cuisine and her take is that milk is becoming more popular but cheese is still very niche. Here’s the conversation for anyone who may be interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onWbXaRFge0 .
edit: After some more digging, it seems like China and Japan differ in their love of cheese. Also, lots of dairy in Mongolia. So maybe I should have said “when you offer a Chinese friend cheese”
My wife is like this. She can’t have a lot of dairy but she handles cultured dairy better. So yogurt she can eat a lot of and can have cheese on stuff as she pleases but only a spalsh of real milk or cream. Can’t handle a glass by itself or a bowl of milk.

There’s no such thing as “lactose intolerance”. Adult humans just don’t need milk for anything.
