No, neither* in area or population

Improvement: That's not true. The reason that some sources (for example, Wikipedia) say that the United States is smaller than China is because it's counting disputed territories. Generally, both land and water area is being counted, but, if you add the disputed territories, then China gets bigger.

If you were to take away the disputed territories, China gets smaller by approximately 300,000 km2 (actually 327,714 km2). That is still including water area.
