What are the similarities and differences between the United States and western China?

There used to be a saying that the northwest of China is as desolate as the western United States, but the western United States is sparsely populated and extremely depressed and desolate, while the northwest of China has a population of more than 100 million, and its development has entered an era. The United States is a country with a very uneven population distribution. 70% of the population and more than 70% of the gross national product are concentrated in the eastern coastal areas, which is very similar to China.

Seattle, the largest city in the western United States, can also be compared with Chongqing, the largest city in the western China. Are large-scale cities. Seattle is the largest city in the western United States and the largest aircraft manufacturing center. The headquarters of the famous Boeing automobile manufacturer is located in Seattle. Chongqing is the largest city in the west of China and the largest industrial city in the northwest of China. Developed light industry and heavy industry make Chongqing proud of China's vast western region.

The western part of the United States is an extremely desolate area, where there is the largest desert in the United States, and the development here cannot be well developed because of population restrictions. Although the United States is an immigrant country, the high urbanization and concentration of the American population is also a feature. There are 10 states in the west with a population of less than100000, among which Indiana, as the second largest state in the United States, has a population of just over 5 million. The vast western region of China was developed earlier than the United States in history, so the population has always been a certain proportion, and the population of the smallest Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region has reached more than 5 million. Similarly, the western part of China has the largest desert in China, Taklimakan Desert and the most desolate basin, Tarim Basin, and the western part of China is a region with serious desertification.

The population structure of the United States is relatively simple, and the largest minority is the Indian belonging to the Asian yellow race, that is, the Native American. Due to the invasion of western colonists, these Indians were rarely killed and humiliated for 200 years. Most of them are distributed in the vast and desolate western United States, and the western part of China is a multi-ethnic area, with nearly 30 ethnic minorities, both Asian yellow people and Russians. The racial discrimination policy of the United States is very serious for Kazakhs, who are of white descent. Indians and some African-Americans are considered third-class citizens. China is a multi-ethnic country, and national unity and mutual assistance is an important foundation for the stability and unity of China countries, especially in the vast western region, which is the focus of China's ethnic policy.

The western United States is rich in resources, and the Sicily River, the largest river, runs through the west. There is Yellowstone National Park, the largest national park in America. The important resources here, such as heavy metals, mineral resources, forest resources, hydraulic resources, coal and oil, account for half of the national resources in the United States. Because the western part of the United States is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many undeveloped places, it has become an important area of American resource reserves. Although the resources in western China are relatively rich, the desertification in China has been accelerated due to over-exploitation. Both the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, the largest and longest rivers in China, originate in the west of China. The western part of China is vast and rich in resources, showing the diversification of product resources. Southwest China is rich in forest resources, water resources and mineral resources, while northwest China is rich in kerosene and atmospheric resources due to the serious impact of desertification. The proportion of western development and eastern development is less than 50%, while the eastern region is over-developed and has a high degree of urbanization. The eastern and western economies are unbalanced, and the economic strength of the eastern part is obviously stronger than that of the western part, which is the key to the unbalanced economic development of China.

America is a country of immigrants. As a young country with a history of more than 300 years, the United States has shaped the same image as China in its 300-year development. Los Angeles, two big cities in the western United States, has no less influence on the development direction of the whole western region than Chengdu and Chongqing, two big cities in the western China. Although the immigration policy of the United States is very successful, the vast majority of the population is concentrated in less than a quarter of the eastern part of the country, and the eastern part of China is recognized as the most economically developed area in China. In this regard, China.

Most importantly, there is another state in the United States separated from its mainland by Canada. This is Alaska, the largest state in the United States, which has hardly been developed by Americans. The storage of resources is very rich, and the United States really lacks everything.

I believe that the development of the western region, the beginning of China is also affecting the United States, and the Americans are ready. We also want to develop the western region.
