<p>"我认为" is good, it's equal to "I think", which means you deducted it from your knowledge.</p>

<p>You can also use "据我所知" witch equals to "As I know".</p>

<p>"我认为中国是世界第二大的国家", or "据我所知，中国是世界第二大的国家".</p>

<p>I'm wanting to say, "I think China is the world's second biggest country." As, in, "I'm pretty sure this is the fact."  </p>

<p>I would have originally used 觉得. But apparently this is only for opinions? As in "I think your Chinese is good."</p>

<p>I'm not wanting to say, "I feel" or "I believe", i'm wanting to express that regarding a certain question, I believe the FACTUAL answer is such.</p>

<p>Thanks very much.</p>

"我认为" is good, it's equal to "I think", which means you deducted it from your knowledge.

You can also use "据我所知" witch equals to "As I know".

"我认为中国是世界第二大的国家", or "据我所知，中国是世界第二大的国家".
