* As some Indicators can be skipped where data is unavailable, the maximum overall and Domain scores are not identical for each country. Country rankings are generated from ratios of the maximum scores and the achieved 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
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
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
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, Mexico had a GDP per capita of US$9,926 and a total population of 130.3 million people.
Mexico established diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China in 1972. Mexico was ranked 127th in Reporters Without Borders' 2022 World Press Freedom Index, and Partly Free in Freedom House's 2022 Global Freedom Status, with a score of 60/100.
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.

No existe prueba de que alguna de las empresas de telecomunicaciones que pertenecen a la RPC estén prestando servicio en México. Se conoce que en el 2015, China Telecom planeaba hacer una oferta de servicios, pero ésta no avanzó. Luego, durante la presidencia de Donal Trum en EEUU presionó a México para que no aceptará ningún tipo de ayuda en esta materia por parte de China. En resumen, se puede afirmar que las empresas de telecomunicaciones públicas de China no operan en el país.

En México, la empresa Huawei ha estado haciendo presión sobre la principal institución reguladora de telecomunicaciones, con el propósito de avanzar en la construcción de la red 5G. Sin embargo, la presiones de EEUU asi como la tardanza en las concesiones de las frecuencias de las redes han impedido su desarrollo. La decisión final sobre la adopción del 5G en México aún puede considerarse posible si tomamos en cuenta las declaraciones de los funcionarios mexicanos y la reunión con los representantes de Huawei y el Senado Mexicano.
