According to Chinese bureau of statistics, some 70% of student who come to the United States from 1978 to 2010 stayed in The United States. The hard choice of whether stay in The United States or come back to China makes more and more Chinese people concentrate on a basic question: what is the difference between The United States and China. Although both The United States and China are world’s major economies, in terms of living and working, The United States has advantages over China in relationship between people, work relationship, and getting information.
People in the United States show more trust to each other than people in China do. In the United States, returns of product can be made without receipt. However, in China, to

People in The United States can get access to more information than people in China through the Internet, printed materials and films. Although censorship sometimes is imposed on the basis of national security or obscene description, the United States still lives up to its fame of freedom of getting information. In Chicago University library, in addition to books published in the United States, books published in “evil-axis” countries are also exhibited in the library, although these books may contain prejudice against the United States. However, in China, due to the decree on politically sensitive topics including Taiwan, Boxer Rebellion, cultural revolution, etc. Generally, printed materials are censored four times by both editors and Publication Company before it finally comes out (Jiao Guobiao, 2004). Furthermore, there is no exception of censorship for books published in foreign countries. Consequently, Sensitive topics like Boxer Rebellion are spotted covered with sticky tape in The Oxford Illustrated English Dictionary. Film censorship is also a controversial issue which bothers Chinese people. To protect children’s young mind from sex, violence or any other negative matters in films, films are rated into five categories (Anon., 2011). Adults can get access to every type of film. Even children under 17 can view most of the films available accompanied by parent and other adult guardian. However, like the Internet and printed materials, censorship is
Today I 'm going to be comparing and contrasting Australia to China economy by economic growth and quality of life, employment, and unemployment, distribution of income and environmental sustainability.
Cultural differences are apparent from one group of people to another. Culture is based on many things that are passed on from one generation to the next. Most of the time people take for granted their language, beliefs, and values. When it comes the cultural differences of people there is no right or wrong. People should be aware of others culture and respect the differences that are between them. The United States and China are two very large countries that have cultures that are well known through out the world. There are many differences between the United States and China, but there are many contributing factors that shape the cultures of these two countries.

Censorship in China has gained much attention recently because of the conflict between Google and the Chinese government’s self-censorship policies. In fact, censorship has been practiced since ancient China and the intensity only increases by the years. Nowadays, the most notable measure of censorship is being done on the Internet. More and more restrictions have been put into actions by the Chinese government, which make the life of Chinese Internet users, the Chinese netizens, very inconvenient. With the intensity of censorship increasing and the censoring technology improving, Internet censorship has mainly negative effects on Chinese society.

“As a international students, I care a lot about the difference of education system between the U.S. and China.”(culture shock) I realized that the educational ideas
Each country has its own kind of education, and education always plays an important role in affecting students’ life and study on many aspects. Having received ten years of education in China and two years of education in the U.S. I would like to compare and contrast a few significant aspects of these two different kinds of educations. Knowing that no two education systems are the same, the differences between American education and Chinese education allow countries to take the essence and discard the dross through learning from each other so as to improve their own current education systems.
In Communist China, thought confining and regulation for access to banned book are existing. The authoritarian government controls all the knowledge, spiritual and cultural disseminating channel, for example, media, publishing, films, drama, etc. (Chen 2006 p.5)
Believe it or not, but American and Chinese culture do have something’s in common. They see eye-to-eye on some aspects. Like providing for their children “Parents work together for the well-being of their children” [Example from Article]. It is true that parents do the best they can to work towards a better financial life for their kids. That’s why many Chinese parents come over to the states, so that they can provide a better life, and a better education. They would also go to great lengths for their children no matter what the cause “Parents will risk their life for their children” [Example from Article]. Any parent would risk their life for their children no matter what ethnicity, or cultural aspect! There is no bond like a parent and their child.

In our world many civilizations has had their fair share of impact upon the world, each country is known for something, whether that something has changed over the years of the countries reign. They’re always something to recognize it by. Three countries that come into play are China, Japan, and Iran. Like many countries do, China and Japan have some similarities.

The United States’ educational system has been compared to other areas of the world such as China for years. According to a CNN report on the Global Education League, China is ranked 1st in the world and the United States is ranked 36th (Schleicher). But to be truly honest, these two systems are extremely different with few similarities. There are several areas that we will be looking at in this research, such as teacher workloads, pupil expectations, and electives. Finally, we will look at ways that both systems could improve their current educational systems conditions.
The differences between the Chinese education and the American education are more obvious in people’s mind, not only to the international students, but also to the native students and some people who study on this. As more and more Chinese students come to America to have better education, we should think about why the American education system is better and how could we change our system to have a new education system in China. These differences have some deeply reason, like the American is the nation which loves freedom. It took long time to make such a big difference between the two education systems, and we need longer time to change it. An undeniable
The differences that exist between the Chinese and American education systems are great and obvious. However, some of these differences don’t play to the strengths of the representative country. American schools allow for greater freedom of movement and choice, while Chinese schools decide the “what”, “where”, and “how” of educational circumstance for the students (Bush, tony, and Qiang Haiyan). These differences in structure should lead to a greater educational standard being held by China, but that isn’t always the case. This paper will examine the differences in education system in the two countries and show that the Chinese system, while
The United States and China aspire to command the world economy, but their lifestyle and standpoints look like east and west. When comparing the U.S. and China in Hofstede 6 dimensions model, there were four main dimensions that are strikingly distinctive. These dimensions include individualism, power distance, long-term orientation, and indulgence. Recognizing cultural differences is the first step towards understanding each other. The difference between the United States and China are pronounced, and they merit rigorous examination.
