There are multiple ways of comparing and contrasting structures that each have different implications and dangers.
1. The back-and-forth method, in which every other sentence compares and contrasts. ie:
P1- theme
-p1 Book A is blah, whereas Book B is blah.
P2- theme
-p2 Book A is blah.... you get the point,
The danger of this method is sounding too redundant, although it does a good job of focusing on the themes.
2. The separate, mixed theme method, in which an entire paragraph is dedicated to each subject, but the themes are thus mixed up within those paragraphs. This method is less redundant but runs the risk of losing clarity of theme.
3. The compare vs. contrast method. This one is fairly straightforward: A paragraph comparing, a paragraph contrasting, and one of synthesis at the end. The pros: It's playing it safe, and it'll work. The cons: It's boring.
Combinations of these 3 methods work as well, it all depends on your personal writing style and the subjects you're comparing.
Good luck
China would much prefer to keep it to ourselves. Chinese people, by nature and culture, are not aggressive, and don't like open direct conflict. Our culture is very reserved and implicit. There're much pride when dealing with western powers, after all, we are the civilized world and the western people are bunch of barbarians who use small weapon as tableware. There's a deep rooted sense of "center of the world" and entitlement for 5000 years (more or less), mixed up with the shame and humiliation since the first Opium War in 1840s.
When it comes to western powers, Chinese people has mix feeling about it, especially with the US. At one hand, we are fascinated by America, the super power of the world, movies/TV shows, music, fashion, pop culture... Everything is so interesting. On the other hand, US just can't leave us alone for 1 minute, they constantly scrutinizing our human rights, problem with Tibet, and they turn Taiwan against us. None of these are US's business.
Bottom line is, neither regular citizen, nor the government wants to be dominate world super power. We really don't care. Most Chinese people just want to live a better life, buy apartment, get married, have kids... very much like regular Americans or other western people. As for Chinese government, as evil as the western make it look, it really just wants to maintain its iron control of China, keep being the manufacture of the world, making knock off handbags and running shoes, and nothing more (not right now at least). And trust me, controlling 1.3 billing people is already hard enough.
