The Chinese president came to Mexico the other day, he was walking tall, he wanted all sorts of concessions. But then we realised Mexico buys more than 50 million worth of goods, plus the hundreds of tons of piracy products illegally ship from China each year.
And how much does China buy from Mexico? less than 6 Million a year. Mexico sells more than 350 billion to the US and buys about the same from them, a healthy trade relationship. China´s relationship is parasite. They run trade surpluses with more than half of the world.

What they need to understand is China's interests in all of this: China has a very large population with very little natural resources. They go around the world and enter into agreement with impoverished resource-rich countries in order to secure long-term resources often at the expense of local populations. It is a form of colonialism, but they are very careful to market it as “Bilateral cooperation” or similar, one third-world country to another sort of nonsense...
