China vs United States: A Visual Comparison
Share This
As we discussed in yesterday’s post, whether the United States and China like it or not, the economic futures of both countries are intertwined. Everyone knows that China’s got more people and that its importance as an economic superpower has escalated in recent years. What you might not understand is how the differences between our countries, in economic philosophy, in population, in geography and in how the military is built and paid for ultimately play into the entire economic relationship.
For many China remains something of a mystery. In order to help compare and contrast the economic differences, we have simplified the data from the CIA World Factbook. For the exact numbers in any category, check here.

« Previous 1 2 3 4China is a civilization that has lasted for over 4000 years. The US has only lasted a few hundred. Most of the inventions that you use today such as Paper, Gunpowder, and Rockets are all chinese inventions. Gunpowder was what allowed the US to expand to what it is today. The first rocket built by the Chinese led to the technology that we have today. Lets be fair and give credit to the chinese and cut off a bit with the “white supremacy” or the “Big American” ideas.
Yup, rockets and gun powder.. best things around? right? The big big american ideas isnt white supremacy. Its freedom and justice for all, its been hard but so far weve made alot of progress giviing evryone equal human and voting rights… and on the other hand china kills its protesters, and is communist. fuck china. Im glad i live here.
The more things change the more they stay the same. The more different we are the more we are the same. America and China are currently so dependent on each other it is scary. The people from both countries are proud and over protective.America is in trouble because the people domestically have to many entitlement issues.The government of the day for the sake of popularity have encouraged this. They have so far funded it by exploiting other countries and people.This is why America has so many critics.The government lies to the american folk and says it is because it champions freedom.What a lot of crap.Nearly all people want peace and freedom.What America wants is freedom to exploit and steal resources so it can fund its own excesses.Now the problem is that China also wants these same resources.China is just more clandestine and no one hears about their doings.Americans on the other hand tell everybody.I personally think we are better off with the Americans as the Chinese have a long history of been ruthless . Unless the Americans get their heads out of the sand and return to the basics that made them great they are doomed.You can only coast for so long.China I pray does not hold the ambitions I fear.We can all live in peace if national pride does not become arrogance.
lol the U.S. saved your asses, shouldn’t be talking.
