Is Mexico China’s Backdoor Into The US?

Mexico is seeing a manufacturing boom amid US-China trade tensions. More American companies are outsourcing factory operations to Mexico - with, among other reasons, the need to de-risk supply chains.
But more Chinese corporations are also investing billions in Mexico as a production base to get closer to regional consumers - a practice called nearshoring - and to get around US tariffs imposed on Chinese exports since the 2018 Trump era. Since 2023, China has overtaken the US as Latin America’s top trading partner.

China is doing business with Mexico because they have a bilateral agreement. If Mexico sells “assembled” products of Chinese goods to the USA it is a completely normal business transaction which any country is allowed to do in a free trade. It doesn’t mean that China is trying to open a backdoor to the USA market despite of sanctions. China wants to do business with any country in the world as she abides by the principle of free trade while the USA is only talking about “free trade and democracy” but doing the opposite.

China is moving toward higher value economies like EV cars, green energy, large scale ship building, and computer chip manufacturing. It is outsourcing to ASEAN (in particular Vietnam) and Latin America. ASEAN is close to China. Latin America is close to USA. China also outsources to East Africa. In the next 10 years, the amount of finished products coming out of China is dramatically reduce. Yet the component export from China will dramatically increased. It is really no DE-RISK or DE-COUPLE. It is just China moving up the value chain. And you will hear less about China, and more about "finished product" exporters like Vietnam and Mexico.

[@dlongford]

If this move is for industrial upgrading, then why would China have stopped publishing youth unemployment rate after it rose to a record high of 21% in June 2023? The truth is multinational companies were given no choice but to move out of China due to the trade war, pandemic policies (once a moving-out was triggered, it wouldn’t be easily stopped after the pandemic), broadened anti-espionage laws and the most hostile business environment in decades

​@OFarrell1502 That's because moving higher value chain of ecomony requires more advanced engineering and way less workforce in the factory. China industrial robot accountable for 52% of global market, and expect to reach 70% by 2030, and you wonder why it's a big impact on the job market especially on young people? For example, in the traditional textile industry, more than a hundred workers are just for one production line. In contrast to the car industry, only a few technicians are required on the robot workforce production line. Industry 4.0 is not a joke, and guess who suffers the most? Youth workforce who has no technical background but used to work in traditional factories with low paying jobs. If you really look into the data, China industry output had actually grown 6.6% last year despite massive factories moved out of China prior to your claim. So your notion of truth..😂, but really, it's not your fault since the media has been pushing that narrative.

This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. ... that Japan and the Philippines will be found to be the corner-stones of such a Pacific security system and that if we can contrive to retain effective control over these areas there can be no serious threat to our security from the East within our time.

I am an expat in China and I know many expat wouldn’t move to Juarez or Reynosa. My previous company have an automated line in mexico and we had to be in armored car and can not stay in Mexico. Only in Texas side. No. It’s not an exaggeration. Chinese supply chain, from speed, reliabilty and network of sub-suppliers are unmatched. I remember the first time I came here. What’s your equivalent of Mouser or digikey or mcmaster carr or grainger? They have a freaking market for that and no it’s not next day delivery. In most cases it’s next hour. Same with 3d printing, machining, fixtures, etc. the only thing came below my expectations is kuaidi or delivery. How is it not possible to ship next day ? Even if I want to pay, there’s no next day guarantee. Everyone says shipping in china is fast? I beg to differ. The US has better shipping. Not cheap. But available. In China, even you wanted to pay, not possible with SF or YTO or other big shippers. in 30 years? Maybe. But in 3 years? Impossible.

US companies are free to manufacture in Mexico, what a crybaby. I wonder what happened to free trade, is it there if to your advantage!?

[@Chr0n]

This is good news for all the Chinese owned companies in Mexico.

[@edrowlands1719]

The Chinese are far better business people than the US gives them credit for, the Mexican strategy is good smart business.

I don’t see any issue, it is creating jobs for the Mexican so it will help their local economy. This will indirectly help Mexican stay put in Mexico rather then cross over to US.

We'll see... - there have been many border skirmishes with Indian forces - there have been designs on seizing farmland in eastern Russia - there have been attempts to set up 'unofficial police stations' in foreign countries - including the US and UK - to "influence" Chinese expats and foreign nationals. - Let's not forget that China has its own nuclear missiles, aircraft carriers, and advanced Gen. 6 fighter aircraft.

The US will likely start to close those “loop-wholes” once inflation slows. They just started putting pressure on countries importing Russia oil this year. It takes time.

[@HuntingTarg]

But it's time the US and the Fed don't have. Inflation is accelerating, BRICS is starting to gain traction and attract more countries, and the oxygen-sucking stupidheads in D.C. want to spend more money on everything - most peculiarly Ukraine - and Anericans and Europeans are struggling to keep food in the house and the temperature in livable ranges. There comes a point at which stupidity blows up in one's face.

[@doujinflip]

Americans themselves no. There's other things we can do instead when mechanization and automation does the same work for pennies per labor hour. That's how the average American produces like 7x worth what an average Chinese worker does.

This is a win for US, a developed and employed Mexicans and probably South Americans, means less fees on shipment, the region is closer, then also less migration.

Q: Is Mexico China’s Backdoor Into The US? A: That is a big 'YES!'.

[@peanut0brain]

So it's not a big back door to the Latin american market? 😂

[@HuntingTarg]

​@@peanut0brainIt is that also. Chinese companies wouldn't dare make huge investments in South American countries with brazenly socialist governments, that have a history of seizing private property when the economy goes through hard times.

[@peanut0brain]

@@HuntingTarg "socialist governments have a history of seizing private property"? China is socialist and that never happened. Which socialist country are you farting about? And remember America is absolutely socialist , when companies "are too big to fail", getting billions in handouts to save their arses. Did you as an individual get any? Don't you wish you got some of that "socialism"? Lol

If the trade & Investments from china benefits USA or Europe it’s doesn’t matter that is not a treat but if China does trade with developing countries then it’s a treat irony is the 4:54 When usa tries to Push NATO more towards Russia in its backyard Russia is also concerned and reacted swiftly
