Describe one similarity and one difference between the Japanese and Chinese reactions to European explorers

Despite being located in the same continent, and fairly close to each other, Japan and China are two very different countries. While Japan is an open, parliamentary constitutional monarchy, China is one of the largest Communist countries in the world. Japan is considered as one of the most advanced countries in the world, and China has a fascinating history and a well-developed economy. Both the Japanese and Chinese can be offended when you mix the cultures up, even if it is a silly little mistake, try to understand the big differences. It’s a common misperception among people in the West that these two countries are very similar, but you’d be surprised at how many differences there are. To help you prepare for your trip, we’ve put together some of the biggest.  

Economical differences

Working in JapanJapan is seen as one of the most advanced countries of the world, while China has one of the most developing economies in the world. But if you compare the two countries side by side, Japan is in fact richer, and the population enjoy a higher standard of living then they do in China. After decades, China has opened up and entered a new era of market-oriented policies and development. It is called the ‘Chinese style capitalism’, but not all citizens benefit from it. Some areas remain severely underdeveloped, while urban areas are growing richer and richer. China is a developing country, meaning it’s a cheaper than Japan, which has a very high cost of living. If you aren’t careful, just a few days in Tokyo could empty your wallet, while life in Beijing or Shanghai is slightly more affordable. To give you an idea; in Tokyo or Osaka you will pay around $30 for meals in one day and while being in Shanghai or Beijing you can expect to only pay around $20.
