Heather,

I work for a major US carrier that has many Asian routes and I beg to differ with your statement.

The majority of the PAX on my Asian flights are far more demanding and fussy than North American or European customers.

It is primarily a cultural difference that I do not take any issue with since I understand that in their cultures our position is viewed as that of a servant, not a professional. Most are not at all "polite" by western standards, although usually quite respectful.
