There's two thousand years of China trying to dominate Indochina (Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia). As recently as 1979, Chinese army crossed into Vietnam with 50,000 Vietnamese dead in the end. As to the Japanese, the 20th century for recent experience.

As a friend in HKG says, "they get along as long as they are making money, take the money away and everybody in Asia will killing each other".

I'll admit that I don't know much about the Asian culture, but what I do know is that they respect their elders. I actually admire them for that.

As do many others. Respecting your elders is always the best way forward. In spite of what another poster here thinks, those who came before us have often "been there, done that, got the T-shirt, and survived". That alone is deserving of respect, until they prove otherwise by their words or actions.
