1, GDP and GNP are different concepts.
GDP refers to all the final results of production activities of all permanent units in a country or region in a certain period, which is equal to the sum of the added value created by all permanent units. It can be seen that GDP emphasizes domestic production and reflects the creation of added value.
GNP refers to the final result of the initial income distribution of all permanent units in a certain period of time in a country or region, which is equal to the sum of the initial income distribution of all permanent units. As it is a gross indicator to measure income, the name "output" is not true. Therefore, five international organizations, including the United Nations, renamed it GNI1993 in the revised SNA.

When analyzing the economic growth of various countries, we generally pay more attention to GDP;; When analyzing the differences between the rich and the poor in different countries, we generally pay more attention to GNI or GNI per capita. For example, the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund generally use GDP or per capita GDP when evaluating the overall economic performance of countries; The Maastricht Treaty (EU Treaty) stipulates that the upper limit of public debt ratio is 60%, that is, taking GDP as the comparison benchmark. The United Nations determines a country's regular membership dues according to its gross national income and per capita gross national income for six consecutive years. The World Bank regards per capita GNI as the standard for dividing high-income, middle-income and low-income economies.
