To an extent that's a bit of a stereotype.

Otherwise Asia has about as much chance of uniting within itself as China has a chance of uniting with America. It's a nasty misperception that there's anywhere near a common culture between them. It only seems that way to a Westerner.

Not at all! I worked for a Korean company, and they are VERY hard workers. fortunatly for the West China/Japan/Korea don't play too nicely together. (atleast historically)

I don't understand Asian culture at all, but I've had some interesting insights into it the last few years.
