Man, you are so totally off on your numbers.

From the India census 2011 site:

Total number of religious adherents = 1,028,610,328
100.0 %

Hindu. 827,578,868. 80.5%

Muslims 138,188,240. 13.4%

Christian 24,080,016. 2.3%

Sikh 19,215,730. 1.9%

Buddhist 7,955,207

Won’t even bother looking up China numbers

Sorry, those were total population numbers. My bad.

Has the total population estimates.

Of practicing Buddhists, China has 269,917,168. Thailand only has 62,726,752. In terms of just cultural Buddhists, Vietnam and Japan end up having more than Thailand.
