East Asia is more than aware of the free world. The free world is what they consider the far off lands of foreign barbarians. They want nothing from us except technology and superficial accoutrements which give them the guise of power and prestige. That's as far as East Asian use for the Western world goes.
In a nutshell, for every solution we perceive, they see a problem. They are a very defiant bunch, devious, conspiring, passive aggressive, and bent on world domination. Honesty over there is considered stupidity. The only thing that succeeds is the fait accompli, the only thing that persuades is brute force. The skills which we need to acquire through specialized training, like used car salesmanship, for example, is natural behavior for them. They think us idiotic because we imagine honesty to be the best policy, and have laws to enforce breaches of trust. East Asia imagines honesty foolishness, and laws to enforce it a waste of government resources.
I lived in Japan for ten years and am quite sure of what I write. I could go on, but I'd be writing for the next hour and a half and you'd fall asleep.
