The impression I'm getting is that the answer is:
No, you cannot you bring a woman from a foreign country over to the west without it corrupting her.
Is that a fair take?
I married a Japanese woman over 20 years ago, then soon after that brought her back to the US. Because she chose to never really work on her language skills, she's never "corrupted" much. On the other hand, I speak Japanese fluently and was very familiar with the culture, so managed to avoid forcing her to develop a support group of Americans. All of this doesn't mean I'm categorically happy in my married life (after all, I'm here, aren't I?), but we haven't had to fight all of the western bullshit. (However there was one occurrence of walking in to my home, finding my mother counselling my (relatively) new wife on US divorce law and the need to lawyer up if "you guys don't work out." I just about chewed my mom a new asshole! Damn I was pissed!)
