It really depends on the time period, but if we're talking in general, China had Confucian views, while India had the caste system. Both were very patriarchal, but China's social system was more based on family values and India was more focused on jobs. China was way more strict ("women should stay in the house", foot binding, etc.) I hope this helps somewhat. :)
