Being based in asia, MH should be the obvious choice due to the proximity, but why not CX MPC, because it requires an insane amount of spending to get MPC Diamond. AAdvantage will be good for intra asia-pacific awards in J and the earn rate for EQM/EQP is 1.5 for W and J, making qualification for EXP fairly easy.
The AAdvantage earn rate for W on QF, BA and CX is 1 EQM plus 10% COS bonus. COS bonus miles are not EQM, just RDM. On JL, W earns no COS bonus at all...
W fares earn 1.5 EQP on all carriers that offer it, though. That means you can qualify for EXP with just 66,667 miles flying W or higher, which is a pretty sweet deal.
AA does have a four-segment AA metal minimum requirement for status qualification, but this is not enforced.
