Some say USA is larger than China. So if you count USA as No.3 in area it's also like that in pop.

The only reason people say is larger is because they count the water area in the USA, which is bias because they do it to no other country.

They actually count territorial waters, specifically. (The CIA does this) I make this point because all inland water area is counted toward land area. Lakes make up a large part of Canadian land area.
