如出一辙

I learned today a common Chinese expression meaning "to be precisely the same, no different."   It was used in a  Taiwanese news broadcast to describe the President of Taiwan Ma Yingjiu's behavior after the death of his own father.  He confined his mourning to the private sphere.


Another example:

布什已在暗示杜卡基斯与蒙代尔如出一辙，也是一个民主党自由分子。此一指控实际上是站不住的 ... 。

[In the 1992 presidential primary] George W. Bush charged that Dukakis was no different from Walter Mondale.
