What are the differences and similarities between China's and Russia's economy today?

Question

this is for a comparative study that we were tasked to do. I chose the China and Russia as my topic because of their similarities in economic transitions and developments in the past. I'm just asking around. Can you give me any clue as to how different and how similar these two countries' economies are? thanks.

Answer 1

They are the same post communist free market economies. The major difference being the huge population difference. China has an enormously large population and therefore a more industrialised and expanding economy.
