<p>I will not call it false but it is a huge generalization. There are many Asians who do not support their parents (including me) in their retirement years, even though parents spend on their educations. There are many who support their parents even if they have not spent on their education. It is not quid pro quo. They do it because they value education and strongly believe that will provide their kids a better life. Like everything else, depends on the financial situation of the family.</p>
<p>My spouse and I are going to fund our kids through any school they want to go to. Grad school if that is in the cards – certainly not expecting them to take care of us</p>
