Twice the GDP per capita. The "per capita" part is important.
The GDP of Mexico is 20 times greater than Cuba's. The population is 10 times bigger.
Of course as you point out the lack of an embargo, access to oil, etc would lead you to expect that Mexico's per capita GDP would be higher than Cuba's. Whether you'd expect the factor by which it's higher to be 2 or more or less is an interesting question that I'm not qualified to answer. ;)
> Something's not right about that.
Yes, your understanding of the meaning of "per capita GDP".
