I also found the opposite to be true: protect them from losing face, especially during an event they might deserve censure, and you will have a loyal friend/co-worker for life.
Especially true in my experience with Japanese. So many unique and different cultures in Asia, it's impossible to speak about them all as one entity of "Asian"....YMMV.
