Map
The map on this page needs some NPOVing to be like Image:Smaller_map_of_China.png. --Jiang 07:24 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Strange...
Size comparison are done with US, Canada, Australia (ok, comparable sizes) and with Great-Britain !?! Why not compare with Russia and India instead ? Is it common for geography articles to compare with those four (and only those four) English speaking countries ? gbog 05:15, 23 May 2004 (UTC)
- No, it's not common. Apparently someone felt like making these comparisons... olivier 06:26, May 25, 2004 (UTC)
- That would be me. You see, a lot of the articles had american comparisons, so I wanted to NPOV that. this being the english wikipedia, I added english countries. You will see these comparisons on some articles, but most of them dont have it yet. Earl Andrew 19:21, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Meaning of the word "China"..
The term "China" in this article is obviously referring to the PRC, which is not following the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese)#Political NPOV. The set of conventions says
"Wikipedia reflects the neutral reality and considers the term "China" not to coincide with any particular sovereign state or government. In particular, the word "China" should not be used to be synonymously with areas under the current administration of the People's Republic of China or with Mainland China.", and
"Wikipedia treats the Republic of China as a sovereign state with equal status with the People's Republic of China, yet does not address whether they are considered separate nations.".
In my opinion this article should either be rewritten, to refer to China as a region, or have the title changed. — Instantnood 18:16, Feb 17 2005 (UTC)
Fourth Largest
The article says that China is the fourth largest country in the world after the US. It then states that China is slightly larger than the US. Make up your mind.
- Quite correct - I've removed those unnecessary, and self-contradictory, size comparisons. - DavidWBrooks 18:52, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
