> The difference between China and Russia is 77x.
The population of Russia is ~146.7M [0]
The population of China is ~1,403M (~1.4B) [1]
This makes China ~9.6 times larger than Russia.
The US is ~327M [2], which makes China about ~4.3 times as large.
It's a big difference, but not as large as 77x.

- nickelcitymario 7y agoI based my numbers on the data in the article itself, but it's a minor quibble. My 77x was about Russia and China, not the US, but you're right I had a "off my one" error in my math. It's more like 9.6x.
