Difference and equality are two things on two different levels. Some people use the words to lead to the mass’s misunderstanding of discrimination and find good excuses for some forms of segregation or exaggrate the gap between perspectives.
China and USA are different.
Black and white are different.
Man and woman are different.
They are just different, not opposed necessarily, not collided ineviably as well.
Amerian won’t understand the tense issue about human rights situation in China;
Chinese people won’t adapt to the open way Americans used to express themselves;
American can never endure or even imagine the life of chinese have so many forbidden area-the restrict freedom;
Chinese can never enjoy the freedom feeling ease and justified as the american does, even we have the conditions, we may still feel insecure;
American may never accept the notion of hierachy that people are born devided into several grade while they have slavery;
Chinese may not have the enlightment of the massive awaken that regard people are definitely equal from time immemorial while they are known as a state of ceremories;
They don’t need to be recognized or unified, they just need to be respected. That’s what they called civilization.

Most importantly, we need to disseminate Chinese culture and ideology all over the world to let everyone know that the core of Chinese culture is about harmony.
