Layer Scores

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

41%

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.

Pressure

4%

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.

Effect

29%

Effect evaluates the degree of accommodations the target country makes to the PRC, and the actual effects and impacts on the target country.

In 2021, Costa Rica had a GDP per capita of US$12,509 and a total population of 5.13 million people. There is no information available on the Chinese population in the country.

La última vez que se dieron este tipo de afirmaciones sobre una narrativa afín a la RPC fue en junio del 2020, cuando se difundió una conversación entre el entonces presidente de Costa Rica, Carlos Alvarado (2018-2022) y el mandatario de la RPC, Xi Jinping.

Al contrario, con frecuencia recibe donaciones de equipo para sus fuerzas de seguridad civiles, de parte de gobiernos extranjeros, incluyendo la RPC. Adicionalmente, es necesario enfatizar que Costa Rica, como Estado, eliminó el ejército como institución permanente desde 1949, entonces lo que tiene son policías civiles, tanto a nivel gubernamental como municipal.

Por lo pronto, el Instituto ha sido amplificador de las donaciones canalizadas hacia CR de parte de la RPC a través de su embajada. Existe también una Cámara de Industria y Comercio China-Costa Rica. Recomiendo el enlace de YouTube del canal CGTN donde se da cuenta del muy reciente acto en que se celebró el 15 aniversario del establecimiento de relaciones internacionales entre China y Costa Rica.

Para esa época, CR aún sostenía relaciones diplomáticas con la República de China en Taiwán. Después de ese año, la delegación costarricense no habló, ni a favor ni en contra. Las relaciones diplomáticas entre CR y la RPC se establecieron en el 2007. Se adjunta copia del Marco de Acción Conjunta para la Cooperación entre CR y la RPC 2016-2020, donde Costa Rica se compromete a apoyar los intereses núcleo y grandes preocupaciones de soberanía nacional e integridad territorial de China.
