England Vs China: The rest.

"So what of hospitals, politicians, religion, spirituality...?"

The list of differences between China and England is possibly never ending. Some big, some small and some just difficult to say which is really "better".

England is generally seen as having better hospitals and health services, yet it costs nearly 20 pounds in England just to show a dentist your teeth whilst the same 20 pounds in China could get every tooth fixed up.

Politicians in England are more open, but they've all blurred into each other and no one sees any point in voting. England has freedom of speech but far more terrorists.

England has a much wider array of religions and spiritual beliefs, China allows these beliefs it just doesn't have a strong tradition in them and thus doesn't force them on anyone.

etc etc etc.

The bottom line is the differences don't matter. It's the similarities that count. It's the ability to overcome every obstacle and for each to still acknowledge the other is filled with fellow human beings.

Whatever the faith of the reader, almost everyone can agree that the Chinese and the English all came from the same place. The same individual mother of humanity. The belief that this individual was human or monkey, thousands or millions of years ago doesn’t really make a difference.

If you prick us, do we not bleed? (Side note: Dave carried out a test on 1000 English people and 1000 Chinese people and found out that 100% of each group do in fact bleed.)

One day there won’t be labels, borders or mindless wars.

Then everyone will be a winner.
