Asian airlines are businesses. They do what attracts clientele. Westerners, in particular think East Asian women are more attractive and enjoy flying on airplanes that have stewardesses, especially young or young looking ones. Male stewardesses and overweight staff are a turnoff to most. Men fly more than do women. When men and women fly together, men tend to choose the airline. Bottom line. Rude staff don't help either and Asian airlines do not have that. Asian staff, even the rare male stewardess are exquisitely polite and eager to help. Americans not so much and UAL staff are downright obnoxious.

“Asian airlines are businesses.”

That’s the bottom line - any normal guy that flies on one of these Asian airlines will DEFINITELY try to book their next flight on a similar airline...so it’s just a business decision, and a smart one. The fact that the US doesn’t allow it puts our airlines at a MAJOR DISADVANTAGE for overseas travel.

Perhaps Trump might want to look into ‘leveling the playing field’ here (and I don’t mean forcing our beasts on to the Asian airlines).
