The East was hit even harder in many ways:

"in 1331 an outbreak erupted in the Yuan Empire and may have hastened the end of Mongol rule over China. Three years later, the disease killed over 90 percent of the Hebei Province's population with deaths totaling over 5 million people." Source

Keeping in mind that the Mongols killed plenty of people on their own. And then the Turkic conquerers were next on the menu for the rest of Asia.
