At what scale is a map of China drawn?

The map of China is drawn at a scale of 1:6000000.

The scale bar represents the ratio of the length of a line segment on the map to the actual length of the corresponding line segment on the ground. The formula is: Scale = the ratio of the distance on the map to the actual distance. There are three representation methods of scale: numerical scale, pictorial scale and text scale. Generally speaking, large-scale maps have detailed content and high geometric accuracy, and can be used for on-map measurements. Small-scale maps have strong general content and are not suitable for on-map measurements.
