Why in English articles Asian people are mentioned for the 2nd and further times by their names?
I noticed that in press articles Asian people's name + surname, if mentioned more than once, is reduced to name, while European and US people's name+surname is reduced to surname. Like if you say Bill Clinton and next time call hin simply Clinton. Why the same scheem isn't applied for Asian names?

In many Asian countries the family name comes before the given name. For instance, if you were reading an article about South Korean president Park Geun-Hye, it would call her "Park" the second time it referred to her, because "Park" is her family name.
