I heard the same news. In this scenario, both man and woman quota will go to South Korea.

So, it's official that Asian qualifications are cancelled, as @Vic Liu wrote, the two quotas are awarded to :KOR via their results at last World Championships.

It’s very likely :KOR would have taken both quotas anyway. Maybe :TPE could have challenged for the women’s spot. :KAZ:CHN could have gained more climbers possibly, but at least they already qualified some.

Team China wanted these two remaining quotas very much. As the Asian qualifier originally scheduled in Chongqing, China but rescheduled to Japan due to the pandemic and surprisingly rescheduled back to China again as Japan gave it up afterwards. There were a few Chinese national climbing events preparing for the Olympic qualifier this year and I am sure other asian climbers must also train very hard for this. Very sad, everything is unpredictable during the ongoing pandemic, not just Climbing or Olympics.
