I don't think it's fair to consider cartel crime as authoritarianism. Usually crime is associated with inadequate government authority. Which is definitely an argument you could make about Mexico... but it's very different from China.

I think the people that unfortunately where born on the wrong Mexican state would be of a different point of view.

For them we are comfortably discussing semantics on an Internet forum.
