Hail Queen Astarte! Although I should have posted this on Ostara or Ishtar (fuck me for not doing so)....but anyways, in my research I stumbled across a Chinese Goddess named "Jiutian Xuannü" (九天玄女), a Goddess that bear's Lady Astarte's qualities, namely fertility, war and martial magick.
An even more famous Goddess worth-mentioning who I consider "strongly possibly" Lady Astarte is the "Queen Mother of West", or Xīwángmǔ (西王母) one of China's most famous feminine immortals, who according to Chinese mythology also helped Mankind reach enlightenment and help people reach the Magnum Opus, blessing the 8 Daoist Immortals and even bearing Queen Astarte's direction. She also bears many of Lady Astarte's titles, such being "Queen of the Stars", "Holy Mother" and associated with gardens, particularly "Peaches of Immortality" (also an allegory).

However, there is still some confusion that I am working to clarify and sort out, since the two Goddesses are recognized as being different, Jiutian Xuannü is considered a Goddess under the command of the Queen Mother of the West (could just be misunderstanding of the various qualities of one Goddess), additionally the Jade Emperor (Beelzebub) is somehow regarded as being the Queen Mother of the West's consort, though there hasn't been any known-sort of consorts that Lady Astarte has had, or any sort of sexual relations between her and Beelzebub according to JoS.
She's also an allegory of feminine energies, with her counterpart - the yang, King Father of the East, or Dongwangong (東王公) - note that "Dong" means "East", Wang means "King/ruler" and "Gong" means "Energy".
Hail Astarte and Hail Satan
