Best Answer

The Us is Smaller than China. If see how big China is on the map you can see China is bigger but that is not it's actual size.

Improvement: Actually, that's not true. See, overall area for the U.S. ranges in at about 9,826,675 km2, which includes water area. If you take the area that China is responsible for, it is, indeed, larger. However, most sources (like Wikipedia) actually include disputed territories in China. Need-less to say, that shouldn't be the case. The CIA World Factbook fixes that, and puts it at what China should be, 9,596,961 km2.

So, actually, the United States is larger than China by 327,714 km2.

No, it is not.

in terms of population, yes. in terms of land area, no.

Improvement: Well, this gives you the answer, but I feel that people need more than that. In fact, the reason that the U.S. is larger is because you can't count forth the disputed territories in China. When you don't, the U.S. is significantly larger (a grand total of 327,714 km2)

Is the US bigger than China in land mass?

In the record books the United States land area is bigger than China. However, the records (CIA factbook, Encyclopedia Britanica, UN et al)are flawed in their method of measurement: The whole of the US is measured but only the contiguous area of China is measured. If only the contiguous area of the US (48 states) was measured it is smaller than the contiguous area of China. If the whole of China including Taiwan, Hong kong, Macau etc. was measured, the area would be larger than the whole of the US. So by record the US is bigger than China but in reality China is bigger than the US. 2ND Answer=With all 50 states I would estimate that America is about 630,000 sq miles bigger than china. With 48 states (WITHOUT ALASKA AND HAWAII) I would estimate that America is about 20,000 sq miles smaller than china.
