The second claim seems dubious. China has about the same number of people as India and about twice the land area. The US has about the same area as China. Russia has twice that land area.

Most of the Chinese people live in about half the land area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heihe%E2%80%93Tengchong_Line

That being said, only China is willing to do things like build high speed rail lines to Urumqi and Lhasa that won't even cover the electricity costs of running the trains.
