And, for what is is worth, this is what ChatGPT tells me:

Here are the approximate recent (2024–2025) GDP per capita figures for the two countries:

China

Nominal GDP per capita: about $12,500 – $13,000

PPP GDP per capita: about $22,000 – $24,000

Namibia

Nominal GDP per capita: about $4,500 – $5,500

PPP GDP per capita: about $9,000 – $11,000

A factor of 2-3x is not 'on par', tone down on the reality bending a bit, please.
