The similarities of China and the U.S. lie in energy, telecommunications and fast foods. Each of these is signs of growth for both countries. However, the U.S. likes discount retail stores, insurance and financial services which may be more about maintaining wealth instead of growing. China desires to offer more basic products to reflect a growth in household incomes by offering better medical care, higher quality education, glasses, and real estate.
The differences may lie in the two predominately different stages of development. China which wants to grow and provide more basic services to their citizens while the U.S. desires to grow and maintain wealth as much as possible. The U.S. is already a budded flower while China is still budding which makes the difference in terms of what industries to invest in.
