When I say Give-and-Take, or Rights-and-Responsibility, is the corner stone of Chinese culture, I am not saying that this trait cannot be found in any other culture. I really do not know the core the other cultures. One Caucasian professor in a US college taught a course on Chinese history. He said that reciprocity has been the foundation of Chinese society since 3000 years ago.
Chinese people treat reciprocity very seriously. Actually, in the history, Chinese people freely gave out benefits to strangers, and use reciprocity as a judgment on whether they were true Chinese, or whether they can be turned into Chinese.
Thousands of years of civilization made Chinese people "securely" giving out love and care, and depending on social rules to differentiate who are the best person to be their neighbors, coworkers, or spouses.
In China, this culture is like the air you breathe, and you won't feel it. Outside China, if you ignore the local culture and social norm, you will notice the Chinese culture you still carry on you, in a hard way if you are unlucky.
