You should look into that before making sweeping generalizations about how western or eastern philosophy qua philosophy is.
And as for Hegel, you went from one Westerner to another. so...yeah. Still biased. Now, clearly a Chinese person would be biased too--but to rely upon a westerner who suggests philosophy is primarily a western idea....I don't trust it, given that, unlike you I *do* know if philosophy has been done in China [and other places that aren't western] for quite some time.
It's a pity you make a generalization about philosophy without knowing if it's been done in China.
