I'm not asian and my children have slept with us. I'm glad they did and i'm glad my youngest does. I too have a very close bond with all of my kids. We have a great relationship and they feel comfortable talking to me about all of their problems. I don't think it has made them dependent upon me at all..if anything I think it has made them more independent and more self assured. I do think that it is everyone's preference. If your child sleeps in his or her own bed i don't think that makes him a bad kid or an under acheiver or not well rounded..nor do i think if my child sleeps with me does it make him these things.
