Comparing Rome and China

I hadn't had a chance to read this book yet, but I thought it is quite interesting to compare the two empires Rome and China. Both were great empires of their time, extending their influence even beyond their borders. But after the Roman empire fell, it never recovered. The Chinese empire, however, has risen and fallen various times over history. It would be interesting to try and find out why the Chinese empire managed to rise again after it had fallen, while the Roman empire didn't.
