Why do Chinese parents seldom say "I love you"?

This awkwardness in not saying "I love you" is not unique to the Chinese culture. It also applies to other Asian cultures. I am of Indian origin - my family was the same, as were their parents before them.
I so wish that this was not so. I wish I would have been able to tell my parents "I love you" without them thinking there was something wrong. Now, they have both passed away, I so regret what I didn't say.
