Fiscal burden of government in China is 17.8% of the GDP.

The United States has a fiscal burden of government that is 30.4% of the GDP.

Government in the United States is growing 12X faster than the private sector. At the current rate, the US Federal Government will double in size by 2015.

Neither country has anything that vaguely resembles free market capitalism. We are both corporatist (a nice name for fascism i.e. privately held capital with government manipulation of markets and socialization of risk).

The welfare-state mentality is far stronger in America than in China. The average Chinese is enterprising and has a can-do attitude.
