The Indicators have been classified by the stage of the influence process at which they occur. Some Indicators correspond to exposure to PRC influence, e.g. the presence of Confucius Institutes. Others test for pressure – such as visa denials to academics or journalists. Finally, some Indicators capture the effect of PRC influence, such as national policy changes in favor of PRC interests.
The individual Layer scores for each country are tallied and displayed via rankings.
Exposure * Exposure assesses the conditions that make the target country vulnerable to PRC‘s influence, e.g. in terms of economic dependence, or the receiving of some form of benefit. | 2024 | 2022 |

| Ranking | 9 / 98 | - |
| Level of Score | 63 % | - |
Pressure * Pressure measures the actions that the PRC directly or indirectly exerts over the target country in order to change the behavior of people in the target country, e.g. in terms of threatening economic punishment to provoke/prevent a political decision. | 2024 | 2022 |

In 2023, Argentina had a GDP per capita of US$13,731 and a total population of 45.46 million people.
Argentina established full diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China in 1972. Argentina was ranked 66th in Reporters Without Borders‘ 2024 World Press Freedom Index, and rated Free in Freedom House‘s 2024 Global Freedom Index, with a score of 85/100.
Key Takeaways
- The China in the World Survey reveals a significant deepening of relations between Argentina and the People's Republic of China. This trend has developed over several years, emerging amid a perceived lack of strategic direction in Argentina´s foreign policy. In this context, China has capitalized on institutional vulnerabilities by cultivating relationships with lower-ranking political figures and academics, thereby consolidating its influence.
- The survey results suggest that as companies and democratic states traditionally engaged with Latin America reduced their presence, China responded by filling this vacuum through a multidimensional, high-intensity approach. This strategy has gradually influenced Argentina´s decision-making to the extent that expressing opposition to China is increasingly perceived as politically untenable.
- Moreover, there has been a noticeable strengthening of ties between China and Argentina's subnational governments and municipalities. This dynamic appears to provide local entities with opportunities to finance public works, particularly in light of federal budgetary adjustments. Consequently, this may amplify China's ability to exert influence in local affairs.
- In the first year of Javier Milei's administration, efforts to redefine relations with China have encountered substantial challenges due to China's presence in Argentina's economic, political, and social spheres. These challenges have necessitated a more pragmatic recalibration of President Milei's initial ambitions, aligning his administration's approach with the geopolitical and economic realities facing the country.
Percentage scores do not suggest some degree out of a “completely influenced” level of 100%. The percentages express the country‘s score out of the total achievable amount based on the Indicators for each Domain.
