First of all, please tell what is the result of your comparison between China and USA, before starting to analyze the reasons which bring these similarities or differences.
I suppose it will be given in background introduction.

Then Part II is about the reasons. According to my understanding, Part III and Part IV also belong to reasons. Therefore, I suggest you put them under Part II, as subparts.

In conclusion, I think you will provide some solutions or suggestions. If they are long, give them an individual part, before the concluding paragraph.
