In recent years, there is an ever-intensifying tendency of educational exchange and cooperation between China and America.

China as an ancient Eastern country and America as an influential Western country, they are both the representative figures of the Eastern and Western countries from many aspects. There are great differences between China and America in values, cultural background and social consciousness. Therefore, their educational systems and educational concepts are naturally quite different from each other.

This paper is expected to give an inspiration to relevant researches in this field with its all-round comparison of Chinese and American educational systems and concepts as well as the analysis of the latest reform tendencies of these two countries.
