From, and in contrast and comparison to, China.

I really do not think he was comparing the two at all and even said he was not, at least once in his initial post. He also wrote that he would give his opinion on China in a seperate thread. I thought he very specifically tried NOT to compare one against the other, rather just to give us a perspective of America from "An American not in America." But thats just my take on it.
