In BBC style, the title Dr is used for doctors of medicine, scientific doctors and church ministers who hold doctorates, when relevant.

Honestly, I think the “non-complaining” thing is more of an expat thing, independent from the country of residence. When I lived in Japan I saw the same within the expat community. Criticizing the country would be severely frowned upon and seen as being “ungrateful” to a country that was so generously allowing you to live and work/study there.
On the other hand, even though I tend to complain about traffic here, I really like Taiwan and feel safe here. (I’m from South America, so I really value being able to go out at night and not watching out for my stuff getting stolen)
