I lived in Asia for quite a number of years so I am qualified to speak for them. I don't think their nationalism is such an unusual thing or even a bad thing.
The unusual phemenon is the countries, almost exclusively Anglo interestingly, which large portions of their citizens believe they are in such dire need of immigration that a no-filtering process is superior to even the slightest filters placed on immigration. No, Asian countries aren't the outliers at all. They are the norm when compared with the rest of the world.
Anglo (or all nations of European origin really) are being heavily 'globalized' and restructured. This is a big deviation from these nations historically and they would have been much more like the Asian and other nations are today. So I agree the Asian countries are the norm. This radical deviation is largely a result of social conditioning through decades of education and propaganda campaigns IMO, with the larger end game being their dissolution and merger into a more globalized governing structure and ceding of sovereignty over to the international organizations.
The exact same techniques could be used to re-engineer the Asian nations and 'globalize' them, which still may happen.
