Amen! The end credits theme of the first Super Mario Bros. show seemed somewhat entertaining in a dimwitted sense back in 1989.

This excerpt of a previous post of mine explains some of the reasons why Chinese peoples (in China and Taiwan) have resisted or have not accepted the idea of intellectual property. I believe this quote is the most important:
"Confucius's concept of the transmission of culture and Marx's views on the social nature of language and invention arose from very different ideological foundations. Nonetheless, because each school of thought in its own way saw intellectual creation as fundamentally a product of the larger society from which it emerged, neither elaborated a strong rationale for treating it as establishing private ownership interests.[15] Deeply influenced by these two ideologies, China falls behind all developed countries and many developing countries in the field of intellectual property protection. It is also not difficult to understand why most of Chinese did not know what were IPRs in 1980s."
this may offer more insight in to the spawning of home-grown technologies: it shows the relation between Chinese culture and the adoption of Linuix in China:
I can confirm that; the Chinese have virtues of frugality that stretch back 5000 years. In addition, Chinese businnesspeople value material goods (ie: cash, gold bars) over intellectual property. This, combined with virtues of frugality push Chinese "free market" and government techs toward open-source or IP-free projects, such as Red Flag Linuix, and now the Dragon CPU.
This post was intended to inform those that, while politics play an important part in the open-source, "anti-IP" movement in China, ancient values of the Chinese culture are also a powerful influence on its success there.

This kind of subservient attitude does nothing good for a country.
Ok, the "subservient attitude" you speak of in Asian countries is a byproduct of the Asian stereotype broadcasted throughout your country. (assuming you live in America). That stereotype labels Asians as submissive, docile people. However, as I am of Asian descent myself, I can state that most of the Asians you will encounter today in their native homelands, for example the Chinese, are, for the most part, either aggresive, fast-paced, witty, or a combination of all three.
That's why y'all got colonized by Europe in the 19th century.
Against their will, that is. The "subservient attitude" is not entirely to blame for European colonization in Asian countries; rather, it was concepts of Social Darwinism and the "White Man's Burden" ideals popular during the time. Note that this idea was definetly not well accepted by the Filipinos (as depicted by the war between America and the Phillipines after the Spanish-American war), China's Communist and Cultural Revolution (in which almost all peoples of non-Chinese descent were banished from the country, and "foreign" buildings such as churchs were destroyed). Also, China's Boxer Rebellion is a perfect example to disprove the "submissive, docile" stereotype.
Who are you referring to by the word "y'all"? The Asiatic peoples as a whole? If so, the "y'all got colonized by the Europeans..." statement is partially incorrect. While India, Vietnam, Laos, the Phillipines, and a throng of other Asian countries were technically colonized, China, Thailand, and especially Japan, were not.
