I wonder what an Asian person's perspective on this would be

So far I've just seen people that I think are western

Am asian, am chinese, am amused and chuckled. Because Dragon in chinese is 龙(lóng) and that corgi is definitely long

If we were to insult your dragons, it's probably about how fat they are

Not Asian, but the real answer is: they're completely different mythologies, but when Europeans made contact with Asia they decided to use the word "dragon" for the unrelated Asian mythological creature.
