Head to head
China vs Egypt, explained
China vs Egypt, head to head across 106 shared rankings. China ranks higher in 83, Egypt ranks higher in 23. On that count China comes out ahead overall, though each ranking measures something different, so the detail below matters more than the tally.
Ranking by ranking: in Countries with the largest agricultural output, China is #1 with 1,442.91 billion constant 2014-2016 US$ and Egypt is #23 with 34.23 billion constant 2014-2016 US$ (China ahead by 22); in Countries producing the most farmed fish, China is #1 with 81.9k thousand metric tons and Egypt is #9 with 1,600.13 thousand metric tons (China ahead by 8); in Countries with the highest CO₂ emissions including land-use change, China is #1 with 12.0k million tonnes and Egypt is #25 with 261.16 million tonnes (China ahead by 24); in Countries consuming the most coal, China is #1 with 25.6k TWh and Egypt is #46 with 16.31 TWh (China ahead by 45); in Countries emitting the most CO2, China is #1 with 12.3k million tonnes and Egypt is #26 with 258.37 million tonnes (China ahead by 25); in Countries generating the most electricity from fossil fuels, China is #1 with 6,175.28 TWh and Egypt is #12 with 213.73 TWh (China ahead by 11).
Within each ranking both entries are measured by the same metric from the same source at the same time, which makes every row a like-for-like comparison. Across rankings the metrics differ, so a lead in one does not cancel out a deficit in another. The rank history chart tracks both entries through every published snapshot of the first shared ranking.
Dates shown next to each ranking are the capture dates of the snapshots used, so you always know how current a comparison is. Each entry also has a profile page listing every ranking it appears in, and each ranking has a quiz if you want to test whether you could have named the top 10.
Top10Earth never estimates or edits a value: each number is fetched from its source, hashed, stored and ranked by software, then checked by a quality gate before it is published. If a refresh fails the gate, the previous snapshot stays live and the problem is reviewed by a person.
