I wouldn't worry too much. The Asian mentality is very different from western mentality. Westerners think of putting men on the moon, solving problems, discovering the secrets of the Universe, etc... Asians apply their aptitudes towards copying and mimicking everything the west does. The west hires these Asians to do all the number crunching and dirty work, but the real creative thinking and innovation comes from western minds regardless if these westerners are the best at math or not. It's just fundamental cultural differences that makes it this way, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Thing is, you're much more likely to find a job in a field where many people are required rather than a creative one where you constantly need to compete and re-invent yourself to eat every month.
Thing is, in a perfect world, companies out there would like all their employees to be creative, innovative, problem solvers. If said company hires a bunch of Asians, don't count on staying competitive. Japanese would be the exception to this rule. I like the contributions the Japanese have made to the world, especially when it comes to electronics. The Chinese on the other hand... Even with 1.5 billion people at their disposal, they haven't contributed jack shit to the collective knowledge of humanity. That's because of the cultural differences I referred to earlier. However, the Chinese and Asia at large is very skilled and industrious when it comes to copying, and making counterfeit everything out there. I worked for a large, global corporation for 10 years, side by side with Chinese, Indians, and Europeans. I can tell you that the Asians were pretty useless in the meeting rooms when it came to thinking up, and articulating new ideas.
