I hope you like all the facts and figures we have provided. Note also there is a controversy on the number 3 spot between China and the USA. Encyclopedia Britannica has given the number 3 slot to China while CIA Factbook has given the number 3 slot to the USA. But in lists of CIA Factbook, they have added some water area in USA area so they get to number 3, but in all listings, China's waters are not included in lists so it is logical and a fact that China holds the number 3 position.
