First you must look at what a 'philosophical tradition' is! It is best described as philosophy- the love of knowledge and learning, and traditions- something passed on from predecessor to the modern generation. These 3 main traditions are also known as the religions Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism, strictly followed in China, almost as one. Within these faiths are strong moral values that the Chinese follow; stay in good standing in society with those around you, keep a deep and pure respect for others, and to have a connection to the earth, which sustains all life. Now to tie this knowledge into the question, the Chinese believe whole-heartedly in equality, as shown by these traditions. So, they would react positively, since "all men are created equal" is basically the whole backbone of the way they thrive as a civilization. I hope this made sense :)
The Brooklyn Bridge is significant because it was the first suspension bridge built in New York, but it should be noted it is significant for other reasons as well.
