Is China an egalitarian society

Answer 1

Absolutely. Among all the current powers of the world China is leading in this philosophy. Within China there are several different ethnic cultures besides Han and the CCP is heavily involved in representing each of these cultures while the Han Chinese are typically accepting of each of them and are interested in the differences between them.

Outside of China there has not been much inequality in these respects. The strongest negative sentiments fall on African Americans but are usually based on their negative media portrayals within the society or on personal experiences that may actually be the result of African American discrimination of Asian Americans.

But there are also many instances and events considered racist, sexist, or otherwise by different countries when citing China, but most if not all of these are misunderstandings or slander. There is a great belief that Chinese favor male children to female, are incredibly racist and intolerant of any belief not approved by the CCP. None of this is true. China is one of the most prolific nations in gender equality with various longstanding matriarchal cultures still in existence today. There is also a large population of Christians and Jews mixed into existing Buddhist and Muslim cultures. Lastly with all the different national races and the influx of foreigners looking to immerse themselves in Chinese culture, China has shown one of the best examples of egalitarian societies in the modern world.

Another thing to look at is that Han Chinese is more about egalitarian philosophy than anything else. Within this supposed race there are Cantonese, Fukinese, Shanghainese, and Beijinese plus many others. None of these cultures are similar and none of their languages are mutually intelligible but they are still considered Han Chinese. This shows the encompassing belief that these are not only equal in society, they are the same even with their differences.

In short, China is the epitome of egalitarian society.

Answer 2

China is not considered an egalitarian society, as there are socioeconomic disparities, unequal distribution of wealth, and limited social mobility. The Chinese society is influenced by factors such as social class, political connections, and rural-urban divide which contribute to various degrees of inequality.
