Why do only Asian cars have drum brakes in the rear and Western cars are always discdisc?

What are disc brakes?
Disk brakes & drum brakes are very different but then again there are different types for different types of cars. Some are better than others on certain cars. But then again it depends on your car type.
Why drum brake is preferred for vehicle?
Disc brakes are actually preferred on vehicles because they cool more quickly then drum brakes, which allows them to be more effective at braking. However, many cars have rear drum brakes because they are cheaper and easier to replace, and as the rear brakes actually do not have much of an effect on overall braking, it is not necessary to have disc brakes.

Why aren't hydraulic brakes used for rear wheels when the same is used for the front wheels?
All modern mass-produced cars and light trucks DO have hydraulic brakes on the front and the rear wheels. Heavy trucks generally have air brakes on all the wheels. Maybe you are thinking of cars that have disk brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear? On cars, these are both hydraulically operated using the same hydraulic (brake) fluid. In normal stopping situations, the front brakes do more work than the rear brakes. Maybe 70 or 80% of the braking is done by the front wheels (it depends on where the weight is in the car and how fast you stop). Disk brakes are a somewhat better brake for a car, but drum brakes are a little cheaper to manufacture. So, disk brakes are almost always used on the front wheels where the braking is more important. Drum brakes are used on the back of some cars to save money. Note that performance cars (sports cars) almost always have disk brakes on all of the wheels.
Can you tell me what a brake drum is?
The drum brakes are in the rear of most passenger cars and trucks, disc brakes are typically on the front of the vehicle. It is also the most widely used brake than any other brake style.
Why do rear brakes brake first?
All four brakes should engage at the same time. You probably need to bleed your front brakes. If road conditions are wet or you haven't driven the car in a while, drum brakes sometimes "grab". Many cars have rear drum brakes and front disc, this could be what you're expieriencing.
