CHALLENGE 16
I don't like the customes of gift giving. In Chinese culture, reciprocity is a high virtue. When someone gives you something, it means that you "owe" them something and must return it in some form. Especially in China's human society, a lot of things are done by back-door dealings as "gifts".
I don't like receiving birthday gifts because I always receive something I don't want and have no use for, but I can't throw it away. And when the other person's birthday, I have to think about what to buy for others.

Hmm... I understand why you wrote "China's human society", but in English it's kind of redundant and unnecessary - "society" automatically refers to human society.

It's very minor, but I changed "others" to "them" to match better with the first part of your sentence, talking about "the other person."
Feedback
Your paragraph sounds very natural! I also feel the same way about giving gifts, but with Chinese culture and all the 关系, it's even more complicated... Chinese culture takes gift giving to an extreme in my opinion, haha.
