This is rather simplified generalization. The quality of product is not necessarily proportional to the workers' salary. It's not the matter who is better. Asian simply lacks of sufficient knowledge and expertise in luthiery. I'm not saying they don't have any skill; but the depth is incomparable.
It's also a matter of interest. Very few Asian people are interested in luthiery in the past because there is no such business in the tradition and it's not highly remarked.
