Answer:
I think that equality is the primary ideal, out of which all of the other ones are based. Without equality as the FIRST and MOST important right, it might be easy for others to try to take away your human and civil rights (not see them as 'inalienable). If a certain group or class is better than others (if there is no equality) the class that thinks it's better will try to control everyone else. So without equality the people have no right to decide how they want to be governed and no ability to change or abolish government if they don't like it or it gets out of control.
China responded by allowing Western countries in to create trade networks. They continued to have control over agriculture and focused on that part of their country. The larger cities and trading ports came under the control of Western influence. In exchange, European powers in particular Great Britain were willing to militarily defend China.
Japan on the other hand, created trade agreements but with no take over of their cities. They responded with a move to industrialize and create a modern military to defend themselves. Japan made it a goal to become a new "western" power in the East.
