Why do some think the US is more republic than a democracy?
A Democracy is "Rule by all People", where each person has direct input on every law.
A Republic is "Rule by a Representative Group", where only a few people have direct input on every law.
The US is therefore closer to a Republic than a true Democracy. However, it is not a "true Republic". The best description of our government type is Democratic Republic. All people vote to elect the representative group, who are therefore inclined to cast their votes according to the majority desire of the masses they represent, or in the manner they feel best benefits those people.

Why is Mexico not a democracy?
China is not considered a democracy because it is a communist country; as such, it has one recognized party and although "elections" take place, it is only among different candidates of the same party.
For Mexico, it is a federal republic just like the United States; the problem lies in the fragility of its institutions and how corruptible the election process can become. For example, "vote purchasing" is still performed on less advanced regions within Mexico. Then, it is not a true democracy because the will of the people is not always respected.
Why is the power of judicial reviews important to the US democracy?
It ensures that the country's laws do not clash with constitutional values.
