彭博社：台灣2020年的經濟成長是30年來首度超越中國
Taiwan’s GDP Growth Outpaces China’s for First Time in 30 Years

Taiwan’s economic growth outpaced that of China’s for the first time in 30 years, helped by its early control of the virus and stellar export performance.

Gross domestic product expanded 2.98% last year, official data showed Friday, compared with China’s 2.3% rise. Growth was also faster than the 2.55% median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists.

行政院主計總處公布2020年第4季GDP（國內生產毛額）成長4.94%，為2011年第2季以來新高；2020年全年GDP成長2.98%，為近3年新高。主計總處表示，2020年台灣經濟成長2.98%，超越新興經濟體中國的2.3%，為1991年來首見；且經濟規模比台灣大的國家，去年經濟成長率都不如台灣。

彭博（Bloomberg）報導，過去30年，台灣的經濟成長一直不敵中國；然而，去年由於台灣初期防疫得宜，科技業又藉著全球對半導體的需求而欣欣向榮，經濟成長率可能時隔多年首度領先。

台灣在1990年還是個規模達1660億美元的經濟體，主要是出口消費類電子產品和塑膠製品，而中國當時才剛迎來第一家麥當勞速食店，象徵改革開放的初期里程碑，之後也導致了全球經濟力量一整個世代的轉變。

那也是台灣經濟成長率勝過中國的最後一年，直到2020年。

不過，報導也指出，台灣相對於中國的優秀表現可能只是曇花一現。中國是全球僅次於美國的第2大經濟體，在控制疫情、推出財政及貨幣振興措施以促進投資之後，經濟成長率在去年第4季回升到疫情之前的水準。
