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.

In 2023, Mongolia had a GDP per capita of US$5,765 and a total population of 3.41 million people.

Mongolia established full diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China in 2049. Mongolia was ranked 109th in Reporters Without Borders‘ 2024 World Press Freedom Index, and rated Free in Freedom House‘s 2024 Global Freedom Index, with a score of 84/100.

Key Takeaways

  • Mongolia reveals a substantial Chinese influence in media organizations, active participation in Belt and Road initiatives, and engagement in training programs by PRC entities. This indicates a significant impact on media narratives, relationships, and overall information dissemination in the country.
  • The academic landscape in Mongolia is notably influenced by China, evident in established research partnerships, the presence of Confucius Institutes/Classrooms, and the inclusion of the Chinese language in K12 education with PRC support. This points to a substantial impact on educational institutions, language programs, and collaborative initiatives, significantly shaping the academic environment.
  • Mongolia exhibits a significant degree of sub-national engagement with China, including signed agreements, sister-city relationships, and official visits. However, the arrest of an anti-China activist highlights potential challenges to freedom of expression, showcasing a nuanced and occasionally strained sub-national relationship.
  • Mongolia maintains a robust diplomatic relationship with China, featuring joint parliamentary groups, substantial Chinese investments, and collaborative training programs. The country adopts a nuanced stance, aligning with PRC principles while maintaining a balanced approach to sensitive issues, indicating a comprehensive strategic partnership.
  • Mongolia heavily relies on China as its foremost trading partner, with strong economic ties in various sectors. Active participation in initiatives like the Belt and Road and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank underlines Mongolia's economic interdependence with the People's Republic of China, emphasizing significant collaboration in economic development.
