While many Poskim do permit chodosh in Chutz l’Aretz, there is no comparison. Chodosh is an issur d’oraisa according to the majority of Rishonim, while even real “cholov akum” is at worst D’Rabbanan. Also, the Poskim who permit chodosh only did so because it was impossible to find the dietary staple of wheat and other grains that was yashan, while Reb Moshe permitted cholov stam l’chatchila and considered it to be a form of cholov Yisroel.
