China area 9.4 million sq km not including claimed territories. America area 9.3 million sq km not counting any water off the coast. CIA stays America is 9.8 million sq km including water off the coast. Both say it is third biggest country. I think China is third biggest because the US cannot count any water off the coast because the US has never signed United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1 degree of latitude is about 68 miles. China's mainland is 33 degrees of latitude wide. America's mainland is 23 degrees of latitude wide.
