However, it is important to note that the exact comparison made between the GDP of a non-market economy (the PRC) and the GDP of a well- established market economy (Taiwan) is not a decisive fact because it is normal for a non-market economy to lag behind a functioning market economy in terms of GDP.
Det er dog vigtigt at bemærke, at den nøjagtige sammenligning mellem BNP i et land uden markedsøkonomi (Kina) og BNP i en veletableret markedsøkonomi (Taiwan) ikke er en afgørende faktor, da et land uden markedsøkonomi ofte halter bagefter en fungerende markedsøkonomi for så vidt angår BNP.
