Talk:List of Chinese administrative divisions by GDP

message: The data is not consistent with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chinese_administrative_divisions_by_GDP_per_capita. If you multiply the population of e.g. Guangdong (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guangdong) with its GDP per Capita it is 1.543 billion USD (PPP) insteat of 3.790 USD. The GDP of the chinese provinces is highly overestimated here, China would be double as wealthy as it actually is.

thread_title:  Nominal GDP comparisons between Chinese provinces and other economies 

message: Hi Internet,
Casual reader here - I think it would be greatly helpful if the GDP comparison tables were edited to clarify just what is meant by "current equivalent economy" and "former equivalent economy" (the note preceding the tables doesn't really explain why it's relevant to include the previous year's data, and for the Casual Reader, it's not immediately apparent what the former equivalent data is doing there).
I think if you want to show a previous year's data, you should probably just make a new chart for that year (and that year alone), right?
Thanks y'all

replies: text: I figured out what this means: "current equivalent economy" is the smallest economy that is larger than the province being compared to, and "former equivalent economy" is the largest economy that is smaller than the province being compared to. For example, in 2016, Guangdong	had a nominal GDP of US$1,217.27bn. The sovereign country with the smallest economy that was larger than Guangdong's was Spain (US$1,232.60bn), and the country with the largest economy that was smaller than Guangdong's was Mexico ($US1,046.93bn). So one country is slightly larger and the other country is slightly smaller than the province in question. I have changed the labels to "larger equivalent economy" and "smaller equivalent economy". The "equivalent" part starts to fall apart when used for the whole of China, though. The economies of the US, China and Japan are certainly not equivalent for most of the years for which the data is given. --Joshua Issac (talk) 21:42, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  GDP Comparison tables - "current equivalent economy" and "former equivalent economy" 

message: The Average GDP growth rates of all the provinces adds up to approximately 8.5%, more than a full percentage point greater than the official growth figure of 7.4%. Please also note that neither the table, nor official Chinese GDP growth figures include data from Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan, so their absence cannot account for this disparity. Similar statistical errors are present in GDP growth data for previous years.
: It needs to be weighed for GDP size, since the provinces don't have an identical GDP. If one province has a GDP of CN¥100 billion and grows by 0% and another province has a GDP of CN¥1 billion and grows 10%, the average of the two would obviously not be 5% once weighed for GDP size (it would be close to 0%). I find the claim that this is a statistical error unconvincing and believe any such references in the article should be removed. Sockerkorn (talk) 20:56, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dodgy Figures 

message: Since "Taiwan" has been added and removed from this article, as well as related articles, it would be good if we could get consensus as to its inclusion or exclusion.  It seems to me that it is reasonable to include it as long as there are clear disclaimers that it is governed by the ROC and not the PRC.  This is in the spirit of neutrality for a disputed territory, and it also seems reasonable that anyone wanting to know this data for provinces of the PRC would likely also be interested to know the same data for Taiwan for comparison purposes.  I know that this information is certainly of interest to me.  As long as there are clear disclaimers, I don't think it seems political or confusing to include Taiwan.  What do others think?

text: Agree, it is important to included Taiwan simply because Taiwan itself is officially the Republic of China and on their equivalent article I wouldn't be surprised even if Mongolia was added in theirs. Nebakin (talk) 08:28, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

text: There are two differences between Chinese and English. In English, Taiwan is the "Republic of China", but if the people on both sides of the strait call their country by Chinese, it is "China", and this China is not the People's Republic of China or the Republic of China, just the simple two words "China". "Considering that Taiwanese who come to Chinese mainland call themselves "Chinese" or "Taiwanese", I included Taiwan here. 李双能 (talk) 04:15, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
