In China, more and more people tend to use body languages to communicate with others. For example, when we want to say " well down! You are the best!",we will use " thumb up"; when we want to express our positive sence, we may use a victory gesture. I think there are few differences between U.S.A and China in the using of gesture.Unlike the gestures, I can see some definate differences in the eye contact and the body space between the two countries. In China, people avoid to make the eye contacts when they are walking in the street, because people are shy about that, but the U.S.A, people even will say hi to each other when their eyes meet. Also, men and women always keep a proper distance when they talk, but in the U.S.A, the distance seems a little shorter than that in China.

I think people in the U.S.A are more open and outgoing ,and the culture are more advanced which allow people to freely contact with each other by using some close and exaggerated action, but in China, people and culture are more conservative, so people are usually implicit to do everything .

Anyway, all the people in the two countries like to express their thoughts through using the body languages, because using the nonverbal communication in a right way can make people more charismatic and make the atmosphere more easy and happy between people in both countries.
