A better measure is the straight GDP/capita. Here's the numbers for the 3 countries mentioned, to which I added the US, China and Estonia (source World Bank [1]):
US: $57.6k
Estonia: $17.6k
China: $8.1k
Khazakhstan: $7.5k
Kyrgystan: $1.1k
Tajikistan: $0.8k
GP's argument stands with the straight GDP/capita, except for the comparison to Estonia, which was a side remark anyway.
