Both China and the US are both extremely large countries and so the distances between them vary depending where you take the measurements from. On average they are separated by about 6,000 miles but if you take the shortest distance between mainland United States and mainland China then this can be found along the Northern Alaskan Arctic Ocean, at that heading the distance reduces to just 2,600miles.
The distance between the capitals Washington DC and Beijing is 11,172 kilometres or 6942 miles. Technically speaking though the distance is much less because the US has bases and owns the islands of Guam and Saipan which are right next to the Philippines and therefore only a few hundred miles from the Chinese border.
Los Angeles to Hong Kong is 7195 miles and LA to Shanghai 6438 miles with flights taking somewhere in the region of 15 to 17 hours.
China and USA are often debated as to which is the third largest country in the world behind Russia and Canada. The uncertainty is due to the inclusion of outlying territories such as Puerto Rico and Taiwan.
China is the most populous country in the world, with a population of almost 1.4 billion. With such a huge workforce, the Chinese economy is now the second largest powerful economy in the world, second only behind the US. With China's increasing influence on world trade, they are on track to become the largest and most powerful economy in the world within the next few years.
