Area (km2): 9,596,961–9,639,688
This entry uses the UN figure for mainland China (9,596,961 km2/3,705,407 sq mi), excluding the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau, for which the UN has separate figures. Both values exclude all the territorial waters and the island of Taiwan and other ROC-controlled territories. The smaller figure excludes all territories disputed with India, whereas the larger includes PRC-administered areas of Aksai Chin and Trans-Karakoram Tract, both territories claimed by India, but excludes Arunachal Pradesh which is administered by India but claimed by the PRC.
两个数据都没有包含香港和澳门特别行政区及台澎金马、东沙群岛、太平岛等中华民国实控土地
第一个数字不包含所有与印度争议地区,即阿克赛钦、喀喇昆仑走廊和藏南;第二个数字包含阿克赛钦和喀喇昆仑走廊但不包括藏南
所以,中华人民共和国的实际控制土地面积为9639688平方公里,比我们一般认知的“约960万”要大喔~~
要是能把藏南要回来的话,以后地理书上就可以说“约970万平方公里”了。。。
