At least three.

I did not know China was the same size as the usa

It's the main reasons mainland China is held as a comparison with the US for things like infrastructure and modern rail ways.
RenaissanceFaireMan
Quick search says they're both ~ 3.75 million mi²
reversethoughts
Yeah especially if you add Alaska to this map it seems the US would be bigger then China
LurkerOfDarkness
It depends on how you count lakes, is it surface area or not, that's how close the race is.
sfrinlan
I've been generally under the impression the the US was third in both population and area.
LurkerOfDarkness
If you don't count lakes as part of the area, it is.
madladpdp
And three times the population !
PineappleEmailer
Closer to 4
HodgeNPodge
Yeah that was a dead giveaway for me on the accuracy here. China, and dear God RUSSIA are huuuuuuuuuggggeee compared to the USA.
BSteezie
Typical map projections make high latitude areas like Russia look way bigger than they are, and equatorial areas such as Africa look smaller
keebs63
China has practically the same amount of land in km² as the U.S.....
MantisTobagganMD
U.S. is larger than China. USA 3.797 square miles to China 3.705 square miles.
IAmTheCamel
That's counting Alaska (still part of USA), they were probably just talking lower 48
KRS101
AK is a state. Why would you leave out a state?
Frozar
Just because the maps shown are the lower 48, no Alaska or Hawaii jammed in for reference.
trumpypumpyinyourrumpy
I thought china was bigger?
ReLeVaNtUSERNAMESareReLeVaNT
Depends on what you consider China or what China considers China
ThermalPanda
It depends on what you count as part of China depending on the disputed territories/bodies of water. For the most part there relatively
ThermalPanda
close size and depending on how you measure one can be larger than the other once Alaska is included.
whatsisname
It's contentious which is larger. Depends who you ask, i.e. depends if Taiwan is included.
KRS101
Taiwan vehemently asserts its independence and AK is a full fledged state so....
whatsisname
Regarding Taiwan, that's why I said "who you ask". China will include Taiwan in their numbers.
KRS101
China can suck a 100 year old egg ;)

taiwan is small af how is that even a factor
whatsisname
The difference in size just happens to be really close to each other, like less than 1% difference.
