China, a fast-developing country in the 21st century has a long way to go to catch up with America, a well-developed country. The differences between the two countries are part of the reasons why this happen. In political aspect, they have different systems to function. In historical aspect, China has a different history from the United States. In the economical way, China is making a great progress, but the poverty and unemployment still commonly exist in the country while the US does a better job on eliminating the poverty. When talking about the educations between two countries, the one in America is considered more humane and more advanced. Even though China developed very rapidly, many differences still exist between them and America, including the political system, history, economy, and education.
First, China has a totally distinctive political system from the one in the US. Communism is the only party in China whereas there are more than one parties in America. The two major parties in the US are Democratic and Republican. Different parties supervise each other and make sure the president and the governors are not corrupt and the government functions well.
"China's controlling force is the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It has a parallel hierarchy comprising elected congresses and committees functioning from village level upwards and taking orders from above. A national party congress every five years elects a central committee of about 371 members (198 of whom have full voting powers) that meets twice a year and elects a Politburo of about 25 members, with an inner-standing committee of around nine members as effectively the highest decision-making body in China. The Politburo is supported by a five-...

During the twentieth century Russia and China had revolutions that changed the government and stock market. Russia underwent numerous revolutions constantly changing the foundations of many integral parts of the government. China throughout the twentieth century had countless revolutions, never seeming to end even during both world wars. China and Russia both being communist primarily during the entirety of the twentieth century had similar economies.

Post-Cold War Asia has been witness to a China that increasingly focuses its foreign policy on its neighbors rather than on a regional or global context. This stems from China's realization that free markets have triumphed over centrally planned economies and that a world revolution is not going to happen. This has two implications. One, China no longer needs to divert resources to involve itself in global politics since the proletarian revolution is not going to take place. Second, China needs to embark on a program of economic development and modernization (F. Wang p. 32 and J. Wang p. 80).
Political parties in the China and the United States are exceptionally different. In a way that each country's political party system has their own way of controlling their government. At the end each country's main objective is to make sure their country would succeed. In China they have a Communist form of government and in the United States, we have a Democratic and Republican parties. Also events that happen in or out of China or the United States affects policy making.
Whether a country has a parliamentary or presidential system, whether it is democratic or autocratic, political parties exist and flourish all over the world. One of the major ways that parties in various countries differ is by the way that the leadership enforces the rest...
China has an extensive history that spans thousands of years and various dynasties. Each dynasty has made their own significant achievements which have contributed to the shaping of China. However, some historians believe that because China followed a "dynastic cycle" for so long, the society was unchanging and stagnant. But the fact of the matter is that China was actually undergoing massive changes within itself which would lead to the shaping of a new China.
The article “U.S., China and Thucydides” (Robert B. Zoellick, 2013) addressed the security dilemma between the rising China and the U.S. through the historical story, “the Thucydides trap”. In addition, the chapter 15 in the book US FOREIGN POLICY, by Michael Cox and Doug Stokes, indicated the situation of changing East Asia, rising China, and the role of the U.S. in this region in different periods. Therefore, the materials have revealed an important question about Sino-US relation, which is should the United States cooperate or compete with the rising China?
I stayed in China for more than 20 years, and then came to the United States last year. During the last year, I kept comparing the two countries and found both similarities and differences.
China's development is praised by the whole world. Its developments are not only in the economic aspect, but as well in its foreign affairs. Compared with other developed countries, China is a relatively young country. It began constructing itself in 1949. After 30 years of growth, company ownership had experienced unprecedented changes. Entirely, non-state-owned companies can now be more involved in sectors that used to be monopolized by state-owned companies.

Within most countries, students strive to become doctors, engineers, lawyers, etc. Education in China requires students to attend school for 9 years without any objection. In the United States, Americans are encouraged to go to school. The government upholds the "no child left behind" policy which mandates students to attend school for at least 12 ye...
