There are some similarities between United States of
America (USA) and Peoples Republic of China (PRC). But essentially these are two very
different kind of countries. The similarities between the two countries are in terms of
large geographical area and very high GDP. But there are many differences in political,
and cultural nature of the two countries.

While USA
represent the best of the capitalist form of economy and government with very high
levels of personal freedom, PRC represents the most successful case of communist form of
economy and government in which personal freedom is highly restricted. Also in spite of
very high GDP of PRC, it lags behind USA considerable because of its very high
population.

Culturally china represents one of the oldest
culture in the world. In comparison, USA is comparatively a very new nations with no old
cultural roots. Also people of USA come from a wide range of ethnic background. In
comparison, population of PRC represent more homogeneous ethnic
background.

Currently PRC economy is developing much faster
than that of USA. However the PRC economy is dominated by labour intensive economic
activities and is still very much dependent on exports to developed countries. In
comparison USA economy is dominated by technology and capital intensive activities and
domestic consumption.
