No.
To practice in the US, plan to complete an entire residency (3 yrs for IM and 4 for derm) in your field of choice. It is very, very unlikely you will get into a derm program from China, but IM is possible. It would be extremely difficult to find a job in the US if you do not finish a full residency and only do an internship.

You should expect to start over from internship (which is the first year of residency in the US) if you come to the US. Your Master's degree and internship year in China will not be credited toward any US residency training.
