I am a native Japanese and had been living in China/Korea/Taiwan before.
It would be no problem to eat Japanese and/or Korean food everyday. While I had lived in China/Taiwan for 2 decades, I refuse to eat Chinese food everyday. Chinese food is too oily and too much salt/sugar for me.
If you cook your own, you don't need too much oil to cook a nice Chinese meal. The most poupular way of cooking a Chinese dish is fast stir-fry. Restaurants may use more cooking oil and MSG. MSG is seldom used at the homes.

That's true.
I don't cook by myself but my wife does with very little oil
There are some restaurants in Taipei which promote them with a sign board saying:
No MSG
By the way, my most favorite Korean food is Samgyetang, or 參雞湯 with Chinese characters, which means:

Chinese food does tend to be greasy and contains too much salt. Nowadays, people in more wealthy areas are more and more aware about the health risks involved and tend to prefer less salty/greasy food.
Restaurants less so because they need the food to be tasty, which means more oil and other ingredients, at least for most people. There is an old Chinese saying "more oil never spoils a dish".

Oh please, the equivalent of the chinese food you are probably eating is ramen, barbeque octopus, and fried shrimps. Chinese restaurants that you choose to go to and the dishes you order have too much oil.
Eating out at restaurants everyday will have a bad outcome regardless of origin.
