Q: What's the difference between China and the United States? Including history, economy, culture and other aspects, the more detailed the better.

First of all, China has a history of nearly 5,000 years, while the United States was discovered by the world only after Columbus sailed, and it was only more than 200 years since its successful founding through a series of anti-colonial rule.

When Columbus discovered America, the United States, which had not yet been founded, was still in an extremely backward life. At that time, China was in a feudal society of nearly two thousand years, and its living standard and technological level were higher than those of the United States.

Because the United States had nearly 200 years of colonial rule before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it accepted some advanced politics, economy, thought and culture from Britain and made great progress on the original basis. At this time, China was still in a feudal society, and compared with the British capitalist society, its system was backward.

Because the United States was formally established for a short time and initially accepted advanced ideology and culture, such conditions enabled the United States to accept advanced things quickly. However, China's thoughts are deeply rooted because of the spread of thousands of years of culture. Feudal rule had such an important influence on people's thinking that it was difficult to change those old ideas.

Therefore, although the history of the United States is not as long as that of China, it has developed rapidly. Of course, there are many reasons for China's stagnation, such as the arrogance of the rulers, the refusal to accept new ideas, the weakness of the emerging bourgeoisie, the strength of feudal forces and the interference of foreign forces. I won't talk about these reasons here, but I need to mention that the discovery of the United States has not been interfered by foreign forces, which can be said to provide a good development space for the development of the United States.

Institutionally, the United States is a capitalist society and China is a socialist society. This difference is inseparable from the history of the two countries. As the saying goes, the economic base determines the superstructure. Of course, we can also see different aspects of the economies of the two countries through the system.

In fact, the two countries began to move towards different paths from the beginning. The United States began by absorbing the advanced knowledge of Britain and other European countries, and its ideology and culture are similar to those of Europe in many aspects, not to mention that the United States was originally a British colony. China's more history comes from inheriting its own history and summing up its predecessors. Although I later learned from the West and the Soviet Union, it turns out that I must base myself on my own reality.

Generally speaking, the historical differences between the two countries determine that the two countries have taken completely different paths.
