French living in Japan here. From what I have seen on both sides, I think the main difference is that most Asian people have a culture of group thinking and common interest, while most western people behave selfishly. I also noticed that western people relies only on the governments rather that the collective and individual actions they can do. It is clear to me even by reading this page. Everything is about what the governments did or did not, failed or succeeded. The virus does not care about politics, it is transmitted from one person to another, so the individual persons have the responsibility to do something. The governments does not have the power to stop a pandemic.
