A handy graphic of China’s stimulus plan allocation:

UPDATE: The above chart represents the allocation of funds after this week’s “rebalancing” of the stimulus package. The chart below, for comparison purposes, shows the original allocation amounts and percentages:
Notice that the category “Sustainable Development” has taken a hit, but “Technolgy Advances” (which presumably will include some spending for clean tech) has received a big increase.
UPDATE 2: Thanks to Yaleguy, here is a pie chart for the US stimulus package, although as he notes it is two months old. It’s a little hard to compare apples to apples, but it’s probably the best we are going to get.

Here’s a comparable chart for the US, though it’s almost 2 months old.

cool .. now we need the experts, which country has more pork in their plan … in which country will more bucks/yuan reach the ground … and maybe with a bit of comparison, given wage/expenses/productivity differences, who will get more done with less bucks?
