Experts have highlighted that the United States' strategy to reduce the presence of China in Mexico is not yielding significant results. During the presentation of the Economic Bulletin on China-Latin America, specialists pointed out that this situation may influence the upcoming review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Enrique Dussel Peters, coordinator of the China-Mexico Studies Center at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, emphasized that imports from China continue to hold steady, while imports from the United States have notably declined.

The report underscores the resilience of Chinese imports in Mexico's trade landscape, despite ongoing US efforts to diminish this presence. The data for 2025 indicates that the anticipated reduction in Chinese imports has not taken place, which raises questions about the effectiveness of US pressure tactics. It is noteworthy that as Chinese imports remain stable, there is a surprising drop in imports from the United States, suggesting a shift in trade dynamics that could have broader implications for North American economic relations.

In light of these findings, the specialists warn that the US's determination to curb China's influence in Mexico could backfire if current trends continue. The implications for the USMCA's upcoming review could be significant, as the economic interdependence between Mexico and China becomes more pronounced. As the geopolitical landscape evolves, the effectiveness of US strategies in the region will be closely scrutinized, especially in the context of trade policies and diplomatic relations within North America.
