Taiwan: Comparisons With China You'll Never See in the Pro-China Media

Claudia Jean has the goods. I give you a taste of it below, but do go read the whole thing. (with references).
Taiwan’s GDP per capita is 5 times more than that of China. Even though China’s economy has been growing rapidly, the gap between Taiwan and China has actually remained the same.

In China, 8% of the population live under the poverty line whereas there’s only 0.95% in Taiwan.

Taiwan’s press freedom is 10, which ranks 32nd in the world but China is only 89, which is the 163rd place in the world and only better than 6 other countries.
