What's the best way (preferably with DAX query functions, such as SUMMARIZE, GENERATE, etc) to find all the rows in a lookup table that have no matching row in the data table?

For example, with a data table like this:

Person ID
Country Key
Age
581
1
25
492
1
48
390
2
37
410
2
29
173
2
61

<tbody>
</tbody>

And this lookup table:

Country Key
Country Name
1
United Kingdom
2
Japan
3
China

<tbody>
</tbody>

The query would need to return one row (3 - China).
 

Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
I think I figured it out.
To get all the rows in the lookup table that don't match any row in the data table, I'm doing this:

EVALUATE
FILTER(
DimCountries,
COUNTROWS(RELATEDTABLE(FactPeople)) = 0
)

And to do the other way around (data rows that don't match a lookup row):

EVALUATE
FILTER(
FactPeople,
RELATED(DimCountries[Country Key]) = BLANK()
)

But I don't know whether there are more efficient solutions.
