I suppose it is larger then the US in physical size since it has 4 times as many people but I don't know. Please include all of these territories in China: 1. Mongolia (the ethnic Mongolian is a dying breed from what I understand, it is a part of China now since the language used the most is now Chinese and because millions more Ethnic Chinese live in Mongolia then Ethnic Mongolians) 2. Taiwan 3. Hong Kong 4. Tibet 5. Xinjiang Province also known as East Turkistan aslo known as Xinjiang Province 6. The rest of the country that is known as China Question written on January 9, 2009

Hi, you can google all these areas to find out their size. China = 3,705,405 sq. miles USA = 3,718,710 sq miles including lakes

They are surprisingly similar in size. United States: 9,631,418 km2 China: 9,596,960 km2 That makes the USA only 0.3% larger. I have not included Mongolia or Taiwan as I think you will find they are not part of The Peoples' Republic of China. If you think they are, that's your problem! Hong Kong and Xinjiang are. Tibet is also part of China but whether it should be is open to debate.

I don't know. But I read somewhere that the US is slightly larger, and that China is slightly smaller. Chinese always tell me China is slightly larger. This must be because they include parts of India (Arunachal Pradesh and Aksay Chin), Taiwan, and the Spratley Islands, while no western source would consider those parts of China. They don't include Mongolia, which isn't a part of China and which they don't make any claim on. You mixed up Mongolia with Inner Mongolia in your question. Ethnic Mongolians have a sad fate in China, but in Mongolia, which is an independent democracy, they are one of the fastest growing populations in the world, with a rising economy and cultural scene. Inner Mongolia is a part of China, its size is included in the above reckoning.

China is the next largest country to the U.S. The top four largest countries in order is Russia, Canada, China, & the United States. (I think Brazil is fifth.) Incidentally, (Outer) Mongolia isn't a part of China. & Taiwan is it's own country, but it's official name is the Republic of China (as opposed to the People's Republic of China.) Of course, the U.S. only recognizes China in lieu of Taiwan for certain economic & political reasons but that's for another question.
