Is China the 4th largest country or 3rd?

Question

Is China the 4th largest country or 3rd?

Answer 1

It's disputed because of the status of Taiwan... the People's Republic of China ("China") does not recognize the status of the Republic of China ("Taiwan") as an independent country and they insist it is part of their territory; the ROC thinks otherwise.

So, politics aside, China is the 4th largest country in area. And of course, 1st in population.

Answer 2

In mass, 4th behind Russia, Canada, and the US.

In population, 1st. Bet you knew that, though.

Answer 3

3rd,check wikipedia and CIA website

Answer 4

In terms of land mass, it is the third. However, I believe US is bigger than China due to Alaska and Hawii

Answer 5

I believe China is the 4th largest nation in the world, just a little bit smaller than the United States.
