How is a 40 cm long footprint (china) 1/5th of the 2m footprint of USA? The foot print analogy you are using is a measurement of area therefore it is not correct to use scale models where the length of the footprints is only used when clearly the differences are disproportionately skewed. Perhaps a true representation wouldn't have quite as much impact? Even so, lets try to use some very basic geometry Oxfam!
Makes no sense
