No, they are not the same. Kung fu originated in China. Some aspects of kung fu have been incorporated into various styles of Taekwondo through the Okinawa karate styles.

No, kung fu or wushu is a martial art from China. Karate is a merging of Chinese Kung Fu and Okinawan Te to create a new art called Karate.

No, they are not the same. Karate is a blend of kung fu and Okinawa Wrestling and became a separate martial art.

No, they are not the same martial art. However, karate has roots in kung fu and some of the moves are from White Crane style.
