Per capita GDP in terms of PPP

US: ~$50000 Taiwan: ~$39000 EU: ~$35000 China: ~$9000

That's right, lets take our Western-pro-US measuring stick out and measure china against it in order to show they are not as "successful".

China's goal posts are not in the same spot as the US's.

What measure do you propose we use to compare mainland China with Taiwan?
