Obviously the US has a very low overall population density, being for the most part a wasteland devoid of human life. China, on the other hand, does not seem remarkable: higher than the European average, lower than Germany, way lower than India. http://m.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Population+density+of+China%2C+USA%2C+India%2C+Europe%2C+Germany http://m.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Population+density+of+Chi... Of course, it's a pointless metric and it fails to capture that China, too, is for the most part a wasteland devoid of human life and it still has about five times the USA's average density.
