Asia covers loads of countries. I was surprised how focussed my colleagues from Singapore are regarding advancing, salary, being materialistic. My colleagues from Philippines want to earn more to help out their family, quite different behaviour compared to Singapore. My Chinese colleagues seem to think they'll advance through better education (e.g. going for an MBA by paying it themselves). I've seen some similarities across people from the same country; but across a continent they're quite different.
