I agree they won't. Continental climate of East Coast is unique because that large area is found nowhere anywhere in world, where Summer feels like it is in an absolute tropical climate, humid, warm-hot summers, lows from 65 to 75 degrees. But Winter time, it is different story... Gets cold! Blizzard blasts, etc.
East Asia is even more tropical-like than the East Coast and with larger winter-summer differences.

You described much of Korea and the west coast of Japan right there. If there were some large lakes (something like the Great Lakes) in central/southern central China, the difference between the tropical summer and the snowy winter would probably be more stark than on the East Coast because of the Siberian High.

I totally forgot about China/Japan/Korean areas that has a continental climate... I wonder if there is any other large locations on Earth that has same climate

I wonder if those areas of east Asia "look tropical" in plants/vegetation any more compared to the looks of the southern US and NZ described here.
Based on that description, it would seem probably not.
Also it seems that Australia has same wide variety of climate zones as US, but Australia can't match up with US's wide variety of geology features, I.E. Mountain ranges of Cascades, peaks in the Cascades, and Rockies, including huge agricultural of Plains and Midwest, and Grand Canyon for example

I agree with your description of east coast summers. This is partly why I wouldn't find palms out of place even in the more temperate areas. The Jersey shore feels just as tropical as Florida during the summer.
I love the look of deciduous and coniferous trees in the northern climates, winter or summer. In the rural, wooded areas palms would look out of place, but in coastal areas I don't think they would.

I associate palms with open areas too such as beaches, or lining streets etc. rather than dense woods too but then again that could be that I haven't visited the deep tropics where they naturally occur like that (ie. in rainforests).

Deserts, semi-arid and Mediterranean climates are fit for tall, individual palms. Rainforest in tropics fits for evergreen broadleaf forests, bamboos, bananas, wild ranges of strange, exotic looking bushes, plants, greenery
