If you’re getting worried about Chinese investments into infrastructure in Mexico, it might be time to switch the TV off and take a walk…because that narrative is a complete fabrication.

This should help ease your mind: China doesn’t even crack the top ten list of foreign investors in Mexico, there are regulations for  the origins of goods outlined in NAFTA 2 that China can’t bypass (and the person who negotiated these rules will likely be in Trump’s cabinet), and any major investments by China would be outed by business leaders in Mexico (so we don’t need to stress about stuff happening beneath our noses).

And if that wasn’t enough, the Chinese system is in decline, and so is their global influence. If they do somehow manage to make investments in the region, it’s only going to help the North American industrial base prepare for the collapse of China. At least this is a good thought experiment to remind us that the US needs to focus on building out its own industrial capacity.
