Not sure if it comes from Asia, but it comes from overseas. 

I think we need a solution where anyone sending email needs to be
authenticated, whether the email is unsolicited bulk mail or whether it
is sent by you and I. This would take time to implement, and woudl
require international agreements. 
But, you are right that Congress cannot make laws that control the
global Internet, but countries can get together and agree on standards
and implementations.
