Answer:

One of the big differences between China and Greece was system of government. During the time of the Minoans and Mycenaeans, Greece was governed by a monarchy. However, after the dark ages of Greece, (1200 to 800 B.C.) the country was divided into city-states which had various forms of government.

China and Greece both relied heavily on farming for food. However, while China was solely an agricultural civilization, Greece also traded with other civilizations for food. This put Greece at a slight advantage over China because, if they could not grow enough crops to feed the entire population, they could trade for more food. China did not do much trading with other civilizations. Therefore, if there were not enough crops people would not have very many other options.
