Don't worry too much...it is cultural. Lots of westerners think that Asians are "rude" and "blunt." And the arguing goes with the way the family functions.
Your son has a beautiful wife who is also probably quite smart and stubborn. He'll either learn to deal with it or he won't. Remember that Chinese women run the household - despite the bluster of her father. He probably does get his way in the biz world if he's well connected, but the real power is with her mom.
The staying at home is cultural as well, as it isn't uncommon for multiple generations to be living under the same roof. But they are in America, and it is your house so you should get to make the rules.
I still think that them moving to China isn't a bad idea. Doesn't have to be forever.
