Spectacular Chinese Government Buildings

I was googling about differences between China and the U.S. the other day and was surprised to find there were a lot of pictures comparing Chinese and American government buildings.

In China, the government is playing a very important role in the society. I have heard a comment that in China we can be oppsed to famous scientific theories but we can't be oppsed to political leaders. But in the U.S. the situation is exactly the opposite. So in China many government buildings are especially spectacular compared to thosed in America. Here are some photos.

And then take a look at some of the government buildings in the U.S.

Seems like they look just like smalls churches few blocks from home. Many people don't even pay a lot attention to them when passing by.
