"As a man engaged to a Singapore Chinese woman, this is a common and mistaken belief widely held by American women. What the Asian or other "Eastern" woman will not do is criticize her husband in public because she believes (correctly) that doing so is harmful to the image of the family. Behind closed doors, Asian women don't hesitate to say what they think. Loudly. :)"
