The individual Layer scores for each country are tallied and displayed via rankings.

In 2023, Algeria had a GDP per capita of US$5,260 and a total population of 45.83 million people.
Algeria established full diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China in 1958. Algeria was ranked 139th in Reporters Without Borders‘ 2024 World Press Freedom Index, and rated Not Free in Freedom House‘s 2024 Global Freedom Index, with a score of 32/100.
Key Takeaways
- In 2023, the relationship between China and Algeria significantly strengthened, particularly following President Tabboune's visit to China in July 2003. This visit led to over $36 billion in investments in Algeria across various sectors, including manufacturing, new technology, the knowledge economy, transport, military, and agriculture. In return, Algeria has strongly supported China's positions on issues related to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet, and the Uyghur population.
- The results indicate a robust military and security cooperation between Algeria and China. However, there is a notable culture of censorship in Algeria, which makes it challenging to accurately gauge the true
- popular sentiment regarding the relationship between China and Algeria, especially concerning the Uyghur Muslim population.

After Moscow, Algeria is looking to China for a new defense and armament foothold. Algeria is seeking to diversify its sources of arms procurement, enhance the arsenal of the army with modern systems, and train military personnel, especially amid fears of unforeseen developments that may occur regionally or in the balance of international power. July 2023. Article 2: The supervisors of the defense sector in Algeria aim to launch a partnership to develop, at an early stage, activities related to assembly, research, and training for the benefit of the emerging Algerian military industry in this field. November 2023 Article 3: Although Algeria does not have an allied relationship with either China or Russia, in contrast to Russia and Syria, it is important to note that Algeria has participated in multinational military manoeuvres in which China has also taken part, and hence said activity should be listed in this article. The Panamax 2022 manoeuvres, held from 12 to 27 August 2022 in Venezuela, allowed military personnel from both countries, as well as contingents from Russia, Belarus, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Myanmar, Uzbekistan and Venezuela to share resources and procedures and become familiar with one another.
