①The normalized value is represented by the index label in italics. The remaining indexes are similarly labelled in italic in this table. ②Due to lack of inbound tourism data for seven countries, normalized data on this index are obtained by using the corridor ranking, (4, 1, 3, 2). ③Iran and China established diplomatic relations in 1971, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China recorded data on high-level exchanges between the two countries only since 2013. ④The positioning relationship of P₁ is used to modify M, that is, a stronger military strength of Ti does not necessarily translate into a larger positive value as its relationship with China has to be considered.
