Reply to comment by IndraBlue in TIL China is bigger than the U.S. in terms of land area. The U.S. is also bigger than Canada in terms of land area. by Mewhenthe4

Also, I already knew the U.S. was bigger, I was just providing context for the overall fact that China is higher than both of them in the rankings of total land area.

What about during droughts in the summer when lake levels dramatically drop?

What does that have to do with anything? How do I know how they calculate it?

Use your brain.

Edit: Also, you even just said that the lake level drops, not fully dries up. So nothing would change even if the lake levels dropped since there is still water there.
