TIL that Chile, Argentina, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Taiwan, Greenland, and the Phillipines are the only countries that you can tunnel through to hit another land mass. All others lead to water. (lemmy.ml)

The definition I'm using is something like: "more than 80% of a country's landmass is covered by a landmass on the other side"

So china has parts where you hit land, but most of it hits ocean, and so it's not on the list.

80%? Why this ramdom number? Why not use 1 sigma, 2 sigma or any other terms with more statistical meaning?

And in a previous comment you implied 100% by saying "random point". Here, I made a screenshot of it.
