What are the differences between China and the United States in geographical location, region, population, language, nationality, residents, folk customs and communication?

First, there is no difference between a mayor and a civilian. I remember in 2000 in OSU, George H.W. Bush and Al Gore all gave speeches in OSU to win votes. I drove to school from my residence. When I was approaching the school parking lot, two policemen reminded me to stop. I stopped to have a look and saw four black cars passing by, and then two policemen drove away on motorcycles. After a while, I passed by the school auditorium, only to know that Comrade Bush was giving a speech inside, and the four black cars I just saw were parked outside. I thought at that time, this kind of action that does not disturb the people is definitely impossible in China. Generally speaking, martial law will be imposed in several blocks. On Christmas Day, May held a concert in Silicon Valley, and I certainly won't miss it. The performance also invited the mayor of San Jose (the English city name of Silicon Valley). At the end of the performance, May invited the mayor to take the stage. There are still many spectators on the stage, so the mayor naturally sings and dances with the audience along with May's songs. At the end of the song, the mayor stood in the audience and quietly lined up with the audience to step down. At that time, I thought, this is going to be in China. The mayor will not be introduced on the stage, will not be complimented, and will not say a few words afterwards. Then everyone's applause and eyes will send him off the stage gloriously, which will achieve great things. For example, the mayor flew into a rage and some people were punished ... Second, American restaurants have no private rooms. One of them is a student in Peking University, quick-witted and agile. I like listening to him very much. He can always make monotonous things interesting. That time was no exception. He smiled and asked me, "Did you find out? American restaurants have no private seats. " I nodded in agreement, and he continued: "If there is a private room in an American restaurant, the boss will shout when he meets a rich man: Please go upstairs!" ! Earning money for a few lifetimes is definitely not enough. "The customer came and pointed to the private room and said, I want to sit there! If you don't pay or give up your seat, you must go to court, and the boss should deal with it as a crime of discrimination. Therefore, the compensation for mental damage is a mess and cannot be calculated. The United States should implement an affirmative policy in schools, that is, enroll students in proportion to race. For example, black students generally do not study well, but when enrolling students in universities, according to the affirmative action law, a certain proportion of black students must be enrolled. Just because black students are worse than other races, there will be no black students in the university circle. Third, ordinary people have social security. I read an article about the medical system written by Yakov a while ago. I was shocked after reading it. It was really hard. This marketization is not marketization, but liberalization at sixes and sevens. In developed countries, it is not absolutely market-oriented. For example, many aspects of American medical education are not market-oriented. Implement the medical insurance system. Generally, the company you work for buys medical insurance for the whole family. For example, my husband's company buys medical insurance for both of us. If there are children, the company also buys children's medical insurance. If the annual household income is less than $30,000, the state will have corresponding medical insurance policies. Of course, we still can't afford good medical insurance. I know a 70-year-old woman who had a major operation and spent more than $800,000. She is a citizen of China who once looked after her children in China and waited for a green card. She was sent to the hospital without money or medical insurance. The hospital confirmed it, but the operation was done anyway. According to the old lady's income, she has to pay back more than 80 yuan a month. Actually, I don't think it will be 10 thousand until I die. I remember that workers used to buy houses in China, but now buying houses is becoming more and more market-oriented. I read an article the other day, saying that if the pace of real estate reform in China does not slow down, there will be problems. In fact, residents buying houses should not be completely market-oriented. In fact, the U.S. government shares the purchase of houses by residents. For example, a friend bought a 540,000 house and paid it off in 30 years, with a monthly repayment of $2,700, but the government refunded about $500 a month. In fact, this is part of the cost borne by the government. And education. 1996 went to college. That year, Chinese colleges and universities began to pay their own expenses. At that time, my tuition seemed to be 2400 yuan a semester, but it was actually a big expense for many families. But the American education system is not completely market-oriented. If you have money, you can go to private schools, and families usually go to public schools. When I filed my tax returns this year, I found that in California, if you are a resident of California (if you have paid taxes in California for one year), then if you or your spouse or children study undergraduate, the tuition fee for the first two years can be refunded by 92%, and the tuition fee for the next two years can exceed 70%. Graduate students also drop out of school. I am a resident of California. It seems that more than 300 students dropped out of a course costing more than 1000 yuan. If it's still too expensive, you can go to a community college for more than ten yuan per credit, and then transfer to Zhou Da University in your junior or senior year, and all the credits will be transferred. 4. Is there "affirmative education" in China? There are still many problems, such as infrastructure and so on. Chatting with Obsolete that day, I don't know where China spent his money. Everything was in a mess. But the United States really feels that it is taken from the people and used by the people. They must raise money for the presidential election themselves, and the state will not pay for it. The United States has to spend the world's war expenses, as well as its beloved small country expenses and so on. But in fact, it is more public-owned than socialist countries in many aspects, not to mention Europe, and the welfare bureau is becoming a drag on development. However, I don't know where China's money actually goes. The higher the buildings are built, the wider the gap between the rich and the poor, and the more serious the social problems. I always feel that the economic gap between China and the United States is not terrible. What is really terrible is education. In this kind of education with equal rights, there is only a division of labor in society, and there is no hierarchy. Everyone is self-reliant and respected. Even if you are the president, you are not an aristocrat. You are only a professional president and enjoy your professional treatment, but you are still an ordinary American citizen. 5. The mayors of China and the United States are richer than CCTV, and the mayor of the United States is ashamed to watch CCTV's latest program "Let the World Know China". The main hosts are two mayors of China and the United States, China is the mayor of Weihai and the United States is the mayor of Aiwen from Mongolia. The theme revolves around the two mayors of China and the United States talking about the construction and development of their respective cities through television, with the aim of letting the world know about China and China people know about the world.

There are no major problems in the first half of the program, but several problems are exposed in the second half, which makes people deeply marvel and sigh. The main problem lies in the connection between the two mayors of China and the United States inviting each other to visit their cities. After several invitations from both sides, Mayor Cui of China showed "generosity" after Mayor Elvin of the United States showed "meanness". A "generous" and a "stingy" show the "true feelings" of Chinese and American officials. What makes Ji 'an deeply amazed and sighed is the absolute difference between generosity and meanness. Explain the contents of "generosity" and "meanness" first. After happily accepting the invitation of Mayor Cui of China, Mayor Elvin of the United States "miserly" said that she had no expenses for visiting China, and explained that although she was the mayor of a city, her office expenses came from citizens' tax money, and every expense was responsible to her citizens. The cost of visiting China is an extra expense, which is not included in her office expenses. Therefore, she must raise funds from relevant enterprises and get sponsorship from them before she can arrange her trip to China. Mayor Cui of China happily accepted the invitation of Mayor Elvin of the United States to visit the United States, and did not express any concern about the travel expenses. On the contrary, after hearing the above-mentioned "stingy" words of Mayor Ai Wen, he immediately "generously" said that he would pay all the expenses of Mayor Ai Wen's visit to China. With the help of the host, he also listed all the expenses including round-trip air tickets, accommodation, eating and drinking. In addition, he offered to send clothes and gifts to Mayor Elvin. At this time, it seems natural and sincere. China's "generous" mayor Cui made the "stingy" American mayor Elvin smile and said that he would pack his bags and go on the road that night. Seeing this, everyone should understand where people's consternation and sighs come from. 6. Who is the mayor of Weihai? Still have to explain the reason for this consternation. First, compare two cities. Lemond, where American Mayor Irwin is located, is the home of the richest companies in the United States, such as Microsoft Corporation Headquarters and Nintendo Corporation Headquarters. Taxes are not thick. It is not difficult for Mayor Irwin to raise relevant funds from any company during his current visit to China. Weihai, however, is a small city developed from four small villages, and its economic strength is obviously different from that of Mond. As a result, Mond is richer and Weihai is poorer. Compare the two mayors again, and compare the personal income of the two mayors in China and the United States. I believe that Mayor Ai Wen's is definitely higher than Mayor Cui's. As a result, Mayor Ai Wen is richer and Mayor Cui is poorer. However, why are rich mayors in rich cities in the United States so stingy and poor mayors in poor cities in China so generous? Can this not make people feel deeply shocked? ! Estimate the cost of Mayor Ai Wen's single visit to China, including round-trip air tickets, accommodation and so on. If calculated on a weekly basis, it should be around $5,000, equivalent to about RMB 40,000, and the expenses of Mayor Cui's visit to the United States should be equivalent to this. In order to get to know Mayor Ai Wen and let Mayor Ai Wen know Mayor Cui, the recent budget is 80,000 yuan. As far as I know, the annual salary of the president does not exceed 80 thousand yuan. How much can a small mayor in Weihai earn? If Mayor Cui generously pays for Mayor Ai Wen's visit to the United States, it will make people speechless. However, they are really worried about Mayor Cui. After the exchange of visits, how will Mayor Cui's family celebrate the New Year? Presumably, Mayor Cui's financial generosity in Weihai must be well thought out and used to it. This is the contrast between generosity and meanness. 7. When can Chinese mayors be as stingy as American mayors? A woman and a man from China, China and the United States, actually took the lead in applauding Mayor Cui's suicide, and the audience cheered for it. No one asked questions, which was amazing and gave birth to sighs. It can be said that what kind of audience there is, what kind of mayor there is! China is worse than the United States not only by the mayor, but also by more than a billion muddled citizens.

A mayor in Weihai is so generous with 80,000 yuan, and many mayors all over the country are so generous with 80,000 yuan. The blood and sweat of hundreds of millions of taxpayers in China will make Chinese mayors "generous" in the process of "letting China know the world and letting the world know China", while the "stingy" of American mayors will laugh it off. Is this "generosity" right or wrong? Shouldn't China taxpayers think twice? When will officials in China be as stingy as Mayor Elvin in the United States? 8. For comparison of tax rates between China and the United States, please see that the personal income tax rate in the United States in 2002 is:/Hong Kong newspaper /csj/csf ... the annual salary (single) rate of 50,000 US dollars in the United States! Personal income tax in the United States can be deducted from many things. At the end of the year, there is a general algorithm. If you pay more, you will be paid back. There are many benefits. When you retire, the state will give you a lot of money every month, which may be much more than the tax you pay. In China, you have to pay taxes if you have income this month. If there is no income next month, you won't get the tax refund. At the end of the year, you won't get a pension. You'll never get a tax refund! The tax rate in the United States is calculated according to the family. If your income depends on raising a wife, it is calculated by two people. If you have children, it is calculated by several people who depend on you. At this time, your tax rate is very low, as low as nothing! Even if there are many children, the state subsidizes you. If your wife has income, the combined tax rate of family income is lower than that of individual tax. China's taxes never consider your tomorrow and your children, and never consider family factors. There is no pension in China, and young people may have to support four old people and one child. China left the problem of providing for the aged to society and individuals, and the state and government fulfilled all their responsibilities. Require the unit to be responsible for paying endowment insurance for individuals. Now I personally pay more than 400 a month, and the unit helps me pay more than 800. How good do you think they are at passing the buck? ! The tax you paid didn't bring you any pension or any benefits. Bring a burden to enterprises and units in society. After paying taxes, America enjoys all the benefits it should enjoy. Getting on the expressway is free, the annual fee is less than tens of dollars, and the driver's license 12 yuan. There is no such thing as road maintenance fees. Children are free until they go to college. If the United States is unemployed, it can get 65438 dollars+more than 0,000 unemployment benefits every month, which is enough for rent and meals. Now in China, my individual and unit pay more than 300 yuan of unemployment insurance every month. If I lose my job, I will run errands once a month and look for various departments and agencies, and I may get RMB from people with 400 yuan every month. This money is not enough to rent a house and eat in China. You will find this unemployment insurance very funny. Buying a house: China pays deed tax for buying a house, 0.75 to 2, and the United States pays tax rebate for buying a house. Buying a car: China pays taxes and the United States refunds taxes. Children go to kindergarten: Most big cities in China spend 10,000 to 21,000 years, and some are cheap. Children go to junior high school and high school: most of the big cities in China are 10 thousand to 21 thousand years old, and some are cheap. Children go to college: The tuition fees in China can already be compared with those in Britain. Failed to invest in stock market: Nobody cares about China, you will be arrested for jumping off a building, and the United States will give you a tax refund. Tax record: There is one in the United States. China does not give you a receipt when collecting taxes, which does not correspond to your welfare. Let's see how much tax a private enterprise and boss have to pay: 33% corporate tax, 17 value-added tax and 45% personal income tax! Some people in China are ridiculous, and college students have to pay taxes on work-study programs! What is his total income for a year? Can his total income in a year support himself? 9. Comparison of quality of life between China and America. The number of houses in big cities in China, such as Shanghai and Beijing, has reached 800,000 to 6.5438+00,000, which is enough for the working class to struggle all their lives, pay for their children's tuition, provide for the aged and lose their jobs. The national government and policy makers have a stable income and never know that the suffering and quality of life of ordinary people are steadily declining. Let's calculate the quality of life of a person with a monthly income of 19000 yuan: he has to pay 2500 yuan for old-age care and housing and 3000 yuan for personal income tax, and finally he gets about 14000 yuan. He will have to work like this for seven years before he can buy a house. His income is high in China, but it is unstable. The cost of a child in a big city is more than 2000 yuan per month, not including the cost of studying. The quality of life is steadily declining! Overwhelmed by pressure! All the houses that Americans buy are villas. Villa houses in China are not cheaper than those in California. The domestic villa management fee is more than 10 thousand a month. What about America? The high cost of living means extreme corruption and embezzlement. Countries such as the United States have cut taxes many times. We consider the tax increase a political achievement. Pathetic, regardless of people's livelihood! China's monthly tax rate of RMB 3,500 is equivalent to the annual tax rate of US$ 50,000. The quality of life varies greatly! $50,000 a year is enough to support the family. In big cities in China, 3500 yuan/month can never afford to buy a house. Once the tax is deducted, the monthly transportation fee, rent and meals for parents 300 yuan and 500 yuan will be paid. They can't even feed themselves. The government is discussing adjusting the tax rate again. They may lower their low income slightly, but they won't lower the total tax rate and taxes! What is good for ordinary people can never be learned overnight. They also shouted: China's income tax is relatively low, while western countries' personal income tax is high! I want to shout loudly, please speak truthfully? I'm from America, and I'm speaking according to the facts here. In addition, please check the US tax rate online. Any adjustment of tax rate in China means an increase in tax revenue! In any country, the high cost of living for ordinary people means corruption and extreme corruption! Most people will scold me at this time: I have the ability to go to America or immigrate to America! Then I want to ask, "Why do you have to go to America? Won't we China people learn from others? "
