thanks for the heads up, ForestDragon!
This looks like an Ant Mimic Mantid nymph, probably from Genus Odontomantis. As nymphs (babies) they do not have wings yet and they resemble ants. Odontomantis planiceps is known to occur in Asia.
Here is a page with a little info, it's not great but it's a start:
