Why Taiwan is ahead of Mainland China in GDP per capita

[retaxis]

Taiwan started off:
- Couple million people with tiny population
- Retreating forces (previous government) looted and took anything of worth/value to Taiwan with them
- Taiwan untouched in WW2 with strong infrastructure

China started off:
-Hundreds of millions of people on verge of starvation
-Anything of worth or value taken by retreating nationalist forces
-Nil standing infrastructure due to decade long WW2 war with Japanese

I wonder who had the advantage for a head start ?

Beijing's Palace Museum "Forbidden City" vs Taiwan's National Palace Museum, China’s two Palace Museums and their battle over legitimacy

China’s two Palace Museums and their battle over legitimacy The Palace Museum in Taipei (left) and Beijing China's two Palace Museums — one in Beijing, one in Taipei — both claim theirs is the real, legitimate museum. It's a story steeped in history and the cross-strait rivalry. On the night...

- Taiwan untouched in WW2 with strong infrastructure

"Relatively" you mean. The US Navy/Army did bomb Japanese targets in "Formosa".

Comparing Taipei with Beijing is incomparable.

Even Taipei vs Xiamen is also incomparable.

According to Taiwanese, Xiamen is like Xinyi, but the whole city.

Historically the KMT was good at making money but corrupt to the core. That's why God drove them to inhabit the tiny island of Taiwan while the more righteous CPC faction took over and ruled the mainland. So making money, high GDP is part of Taiwanese gene...

Anyways Taiwanese GDP don't matter much, everything is all about quality not quantity. Take replacing laptop LCD screens for example, the replacements I purchased from Taiwanese companies suck to the core. I only noticed my laptop screen became good when I replaced it with a BOE screen and suddenly anime CGI female characters in cartoon series look so good you want to reach out and grab their boobs...

it may be less to do with head start.
remember mainland China was forced into a dictatorship tyranny which made things easier to implement. When Nixon threw a bone this dictatorship grabbed it, added its own tactics such as copycat manufacturing based on design thefts etc - the tyranny helped forcing labor and the net result is the incomes went up.

But such development with slave labor has limits. People have no motivation and creativity suffers - though resources are aplenty results are mediocre. And then when the walmart orders slow down things get even worse.

Taiwan otoh enjoy democracy, its people have inherited the original chinese spirit. They are however held back by the constant brutality of CCP

It is sad spectacle what CCP has done to the chinese

Seriously??? Lol

China subway is 10x better than Taiwan subway.

In many other things as well.

I can understand if most people in the world don't know the development in China, because Chinese people are among the humblest people, they are less likely to brag.

The only people who report about China real news are mostly foreigners who visited China and realized how the world has been fooled.

I have mainland friends, business partners, they never say anything about China, only when I ask about it, they will speak.

Since they are international businessmen, they visited many countries around the world.

In their opinion, they hardly find any country that is better than China, if not, none.

Comparing democracy vs China.

When people in democratic countries are still arguing whatever to build a road or not, how to cut the tree properly...

In the same amount of time, China builds nuclear power plants, subways, airports, seaport, highways, HSR, etc.

It's incomparable.

Then why India with the same size of population and similar development level at the start, falling soooooo..,.. behind China? I asked you several times already to explain.

sure, that part of it is correct; because there is no room for debate CCP can just take over people's land and force them to work for whatever wages and whatever conditions and finish projects faster.

That is not something we can tolerate in democracies which treat people as human and not cattle

How much do young Indian rural village primary school teachers make?

Young Chinese village school teacher jumps around with joy after receiving government pay raise. China greatly improved rural school teachers' pay and benefits to enhance rural education. This young rural school teacher jumped around with joy after receiving over 10,000￥ （$1,574）monthly salary via her cellphone.

whatever wages they may make in India, if they think it is unfair they can protest, they can quit, they can organize ....without fear of CCP goons making them work by force or attacking their family. There, you just had a first lesson as Q&A about democracy.

Lol, delusional Indians never fail us, lol, I actually really wish it's true so the government can force millions of lazy bums just staying at home living off their well off parents.

Yeah, we are very impressed by your gentle democracy
