Japanese tend to wear very wierd and out there clothes that are border line Halloween costumes, whereas the Chinese look is more subtle and main stream. Chinese like to wear stuff from Versace, Gucci, Armani.
^*ahem*...WRONG
The Japanese as a culture do not wear "Halloween Costumes" you are referring to the harijuku style which is not a reflection of their culture. And Versace, Gucci, Armani is not traditional Chinese fashion either, nor are they "subtle" because obviously you've never seen a Chinese Opera. Modern fashion throughout both countries are very similar...they still have designer handbags, suits, dresses, blouses, shirts...so the above mentioned generalization is laughable and rather offensive
The Japanese sometimes wear kimonos - a traditional Japanese garment worn by women, men and children. Kimonos are traditionally T-shaped robes with hems that fall to the ankles, attached collars and long, wide sleeves. But today kimonos are most often worn by women, and on special occasions. They have also become more popular amongst Western fashion. And possibly, the Chinese dress more mainstream. However, it depends on their culture/where they live.
just the shape of there eyes <seriously this is why the U.S. education system is failing...
culture, language, social practices, religion, social responsibility, laws, family culture, geographical location, what more do you need to see what the differences between the Japanese and the Chinese are?
Chinese people don't always wear their traditional clothing, they sometimes wear their casual cloths... just like our every day clothes, same with the Japanese.
For formal wear the difference between them is - Japanese wear: * kimonos * platform shoes * black hair and white makeup Chinese wear: * Hanfu * blossom dresses (cheongsam) made out of silk
Japanese people tend to have rounder OR biger eyes. and if you're interested in history you should know that in the past Japan has been influenced greatly by the Portugese people etc so many Japanese people have a slight western look to their features. the men; majority of the time have a strong jaw-line.
Chinese however is harder to classify due to the different areas in china. but if i was to put it simply.... the north tend to be tall,high cheek bones,strong jawlines and stright noses.(due to the fact the north is near Russia and Korea)
the southern Chinese people WHICH are the people that moved abroad to western countries first are short, round faces and flat, roundish noses.
but that's just a really really simply way to tell. if you really want to know you'll have to get to know the history and the geographic features on the two countries.
To keep it simple...the differences are cultural standards, dress, mannerisms, religion, language, and roles in society. Japanese women though conservative in manner, are much more liberal than their Chinese counterparts which are conservative over all
The difference is the fact that Japanese people are much more conservative than Americans. For example, bra straps and short skirts aren't a good thing to have in Japan. If a woman is wearing a dress with spaghetti straps, then she would probably wear a T-shirt underneath, so that she wouldn't be too exposed. The colors of clothing are also less bright in Japan versus America. Hope this helps.
Taoism, Buddhism Conficuonism, Legalism v.s. Shinto. They are completely different, almost opposites on some cases.

One is fake and the other are extinct.
Military situation and Approach of the Imperial Japanese Army are some crucial differences between Chinese and Japanese historiography of the Nanking Massacre.
In the long run, Japanese tea and Chinese tea actually came from the same place, China. Over a long period of time the Japanese have improved there tea by growing their own. There are a few big differences between the two. The price, the quality, and the taste.
chinese are white and japanese are short
different religions
Okinawa is a Japanese Island and also a Japanese Prefecture. The cultural differences can be compared to that of Hawaii and Mainland USA. There are different dialects, dances, religions, different kanji, less uptight feeling.
Social and family lifestyle.
I've never heard of a Chinese geisha. It's a Japanese word, and traditionally a Japanese profession.
Typically, one wouldn't find big differences between Chinese and Japanese Architecture. However, as you look closer, there are many unique factors which sets the two apart: - Japan uses the "tatami" which is not used in Chinese architecture to build their rooms - It has a slide door with decoration on it(white background) -Japaneses use much more wood than Chinese house -Japanese usually have a garden surrounded by their houses whereas in Chinese houses, the garden tends to be surrounding the house.
One of the most significant similarities is the parents' goal for their kids. Both Chinese and Japanese Americans want their kids to do their best and get not only straight A's but do well in other activities as well. There isn't much difference between the two.
