It is observed that the clothes of China people are comparable to those of Americans. Nowadays, most Americans don't pay much attention to clothes. They dress casually and the materials are not advanced. Few Americans wear suits.
On the contrary, some people in China are very particular. They often wear suits and ties, and the materials are very advanced and fashionable. Because of this, some famous brands of clothes and shoes sell well in China, and their prices are more expensive than those in the United States.
Secondly, in terms of food, from the Chinese point of view, you must eat well in China.
China's food culture has a long history and there are many kinds of food. Most Americans eat western food, so there is no direct comparison with China.
There are farmers' markets and supermarkets everywhere in China. You can live without a refrigerator, because it is convenient to buy food, and you can buy it every day. In fact, refrigerators have become popular in China, and few people have no refrigerators. Of course, quite a few people in rural areas in western China do not have refrigerators.
Many Americans like to eat high-fat, high-sugar and high-energy meat, cheese, butter, hamburgers, French fries, milk and other foods. They usually buy vegetables once a week and put them in the big refrigerator for a week, which is definitely not as fresh as China people. So Americans are fat and have a high obesity rate.
Generally speaking, people in China eat as well as Americans, even better and more comfortable.
Third, in terms of housing, Americans live spacious.
In the United States, except for high-rise buildings in the city center, most residential areas are one-story or two-story houses with an area of 150 to 250 square meters, with courtyards in front and back.
The living environment in the United States is better than that in China, with more green spaces and less air pollution. In this respect, cities in China are inferior to those in the United States.
In addition, the housing area of urban residents in China is generally small, mostly between 70- 150 square meters, mainly buildings, with few green spaces, and the air quality and living environment are far worse than those in the United States.
American housing can be roughly divided into three types. One is the landlord, one is the house slave, and the third is the tenant.
Owners who own houses only need to pay property tax (about 0.8- 1% of the house price). The tenant is renting a house, as long as he pays the rent on time.
When a house slave buys a house with a loan, he must repay the principal and interest of the house on time. Once he can't afford it, the house will be auctioned by the bank.
In the United States, real homeowners account for less than half of the population, and house slaves and tenants account for the majority. On the other hand, China.
Fourth, in business, everyone in America has a car.
It's not necessarily a sign that Americans have cars, but it's probably a car bought with a loan. Cars are a necessity for Americans. If you don't have a car in America, you don't have long legs. Because you have to drive for work, business trip, shopping, medical treatment, dining, haircut, etc. You can't move or do anything without a car.
If you want to change the battery of your watch in America, I'm sorry, you may have to drive for half an hour, and you may not find a place to change the battery. But there are many gas stations in America, which are also very convenient.
China's automobile industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and has become the largest automobile producer and consumer in the world, but its per capita possession and penetration rate are far less than those of the United States.
Then there is the width of the roads in the United States. Even in living areas, the roads are four lanes wide.
American highways extend in all directions, generally six to twelve lanes wide, which is very difficult for China, unless people in China don't farm and eat. This is because although the land area of the United States is similar to that of China, the available land area is much larger than that of China. This is God's innate condition for America.
There are many high mountains and barren hills in China, including the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Gobi and desert areas in the west are also very large. China has a population of1300 million, the United States has a population of only 300 million, and China is more than four times that of the United States.
The air traffic in the United States is developed, but the public transportation in the city is not so good, with few trains and few people sitting.
Public transportation in China is very convenient. For example, there are about 10,000 buses and hundreds of bus lines in Beijing, and you can take the bus anytime and anywhere. Because the roads are crowded, there are many people and cars, traffic jams are frequent and the speed is slow. Fortunately, several subways (about nine subway lines) have been built in recent years, which has eased the ground traffic. Public transportation in other cities is also more convenient than in the United States, and many big cities are also building subways.
Then there are few taxis in America. Only in urban areas, airports and a few tourist cities, such as Las Vegas, will the number of taxis increase.
Now the taxi industry in China is developing rapidly. For example, there are more than 70,000 taxis in Beijing, which serve 24 hours a day and can be called anytime and anywhere. Most counties and county-level cities in China have taxis, and the price is relatively low, so you can get on with a wave.
China's railway traffic extends in all directions. In addition, in recent years, high-speed railways with speeds of 250 km/h and 350 km/h have been vigorously built, and railway traffic has become increasingly fast and convenient. Railway traffic in the United States seems to be stagnant, mainly freight.
5. In terms of culture and entertainment, except for urban centers, there are relatively few living services and entertainment facilities in general residential areas in the United States.
Unlike cities in China, including county-level cities, there are hotels and restaurants everywhere, restaurants and canteens everywhere, snack bars and bentos everywhere, pancakes and baked sweet potatoes everywhere, auditoriums, theaters and cinemas everywhere, entertainment centers everywhere, supermarkets, department stores, barbershops and repair shops everywhere. In short, where can I go, where can I live and where can I eat? Go and play wherever you want.
In addition, the spare time life of urban residents in China is quite rich. In the morning and evening, residents in many communities organize themselves to carry out fitness activities: playing Tai Ji Chuan, tai chi sword, disco, ballroom dancing, aerobics and yangko. During the day, you can entertain yourself in chess rooms, mahjong rooms, gyms and other places, and the number of participants is very wide.
Americans have less entertainment after work, and most of them stay at home. Families with good conditions go out to eat next time a week. On holidays, we often travel by car, or attend parties held by relatives and friends, or eat barbecue buffet. There are also quite a few Americans who fly to the United States or abroad for their holidays. China can't compare with the United States in this respect.
Most people in China travel in China. Although traveling abroad is very popular, due to the relatively low income level and many conditions attached by the destination country when applying for a tourist visa abroad, traveling abroad is still a luxury that only a few people can enjoy.
Throughout the ancient cultural relics and historic sites, China has an absolute advantage. There are too many priceless cultural relics and scenic spots in five thousand years.
The United States has a history of only over 200 years. There are few historical sites and few antiques. Some of them are mostly purchased or donated by individuals, or looted. There are few things worth seeing in the United States itself. Compared with China, the United States is absolutely childish.
Looking at modern attractions, that is, man-made attractions, the United States has absolute advantages, such as Disneyland, Universal Studios, Las Vegas, Seaplane Aircraft Carrier Exhibition and so on.
6. Shopping in China is very convenient.
Generally, you can buy about 90% of daily necessities, vegetables and fruits, meat, eggs, fish and various non-staple foods by walking for five to ten minutes and taking a few trains at most. In this regard, it is difficult for the United States to do so.
When I came back from the United States, I was most worried that I couldn't buy a suitable souvenir, because I accidentally made a joke and the things I brought back turned out to be made in China.
