I appreciate the pictures, but personal experiences are not general experiences.


I said to you in the past globalization has democratized technology, however globalization also democratized poverty.

The Americans are complaining Chinese and Mexican stole their jobs.

In the case of China you have a very different relation with the USA



He was one of my uncles who fought in WWII in the US navy, also in the Korean war, I have only from my mother`s side 60% of my family in the USA almost 99% are already USA citizens, so globalization for Mexicans mean economic and social.


The reality is all nations to reduce poverty need jobs and well paid jobs, tariffs are the result of some economic groups who want to control the world economy without considering people need jobs,

the world is far more complex than for all of us fix in this forum, but to exemplify for ever dollar that Mexican companies make from China, Chinese companies make USD $11, so tariffs are the result.

I can not hide the Mexican economy has problems due to tariffs, but China has more because Mexico as well as China are highly dependent in exports of manufactured goods.


For Mexicans globalization means north America, not Asia is our main neighborhood, for China it is most of the so called yellow race peoples including Japan.

is not about competition Rockdog

The history is far more complex, i just going to tell you this we are going for a world government centered in Jerusalem, you will not understand, the evidence is there, there are two sides one lead by Israel and another by Iran.

Russia and India will switch sides, they will end in the Israeli side.

At the end they will impose a world order, the USA is just a guard dog

How America Ended Up Dependent on China

Surprisingly—or perhaps not—America has only itself to blame for its over-reliance on China. The groundwork was laid during the Reagan era, originally aimed at weakening the Soviet Union. Later presidents—Clinton, Bush, and Obama—accelerated the trend by encouraging the outsourcing of America’s industrial base. In their rush to undermine Russia, they overlooked the long-term cost: the hollowing out of U.S. manufacturing. Europe and other nations followed suit.

From the mid-1990s, China seized this opportunity. With U.S. encouragement, it built an export-driven economy. American companies, lured by cheap labor, subsidized inputs & infrastructure, and a deliberately undervalued yuan, flocked to China. In chasing low costs, they abandoned a fundamental supply chain principle: diversification. Usually two or three suppliers are kept on hand if there is a breakdown in one or the other. America forgot that time tested principle and went straight into the lure of cheap everything which blinded them.
By 2015, China had become the go-to supplier for everything—from basic components to complex machinery. American firms stopped looking elsewhere. China wasn’t just a supplier; it became the only supplier. Even when product quality lagged, the low prices’ made it easy to overlook. Now America allowed China to become the only supplier of Germanium and other Rare Elements which are urgently needed for defence purposes. Now China controls that supply and is ready to jeopardize American security.

This one-sided relationship gave China a firm grip on the U.S. supply chain—while buying little in return. The resulting trade imbalance eventually led to the sweeping tariffs of 2025. Like it or not, restoring manufacturing and rebalancing trade is now essential. It won’t be quick—it may take 5 to 10 years—but it’s necessary.

I think neighborhood's collapse is not good news for Inida. South Asia is already the least integrated continent, and you guys have most population in the region.

Despite the history barriers, China, JP, S.Korea talked about FTA for decades. And there are Intergrated supply chian on ITC, Auto, Chemicals for 40 yrs.

Yes. Hence debt traps. Something at which the CCP excels in.

You've been building the CPEC since a decade in Paxtan . How come that hasn't improved their lives ? The solution lies in sinking in more renminbis. And if that doesn't help , more renminbis. Someday sometime in the future , you'd be successful. That's the template for success . You apply it all over our neighborhood.

Yes. Hence debt traps. Something at which the CCP excels in.

They can avoid the debt trap. After all,there are still the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the

Asian Development Bank, the Americans, the Japanese and the Indians.

If they still choose the debt trap, it means that the debt trap is the most favorable option.

They do come to us when they're neck deel in waters asking us to bail them out after iron brother Zhongguo has refused to help them . Sri Lanka is good example & the most recent one was Maldives.

If they still choose the debt trap, it means that the debt trap is the most favorable option.

It could also be coz Zhongguo very thoughtfully bribes the local leadership there to seek loans from the former at onerous interest rates .

Following a call between President Claudia Sheinbaum and US President Donald Trump, it has been confirmed that planned tariffs on Mexican auto parts will not take effect. President Sheinbaum welcomed the decision announced by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which exempts auto parts manufactured in Mexico from the proposed 25% tariff.

The automotive industry, deeply integrated across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, has been heavily impacted by escalating trade tensions under Trump’s administration. In March, Trump announced a 25% tariff on imported vehicles and over 100 categories of auto parts, including engines and wheels. Imported vehicles with US-made components were expected to qualify for a preferential discount.

Additionally, the industry faced a separate 25% tariff on aluminum and steel. However, on Apr. 29, Trump clarified that certain auto parts would be exempt from the metals tariff. White House officials indicated that the exemption aims to give manufacturers more time to relocate operations to the United States.

According to the National Auto Parts Industry (INA), Mexico stood to lose up to US$24.1 billion if the tariffs were implemented. Mexico’s Minister of Economy, Marcelo Ebrard, announced during a morning press conference that Mexican-made auto parts will now be treated as if produced in the United States, noting the extensive cross-border integration of components like pistons and steering wheels, which often cross the border up to seven times during production.

President Sheinbaum emphasized the importance of the automotive sector, which she described as a US$70 billion industry. “This is very good news,” she stated. She also noted that during her conversation with Trump, they discussed the trade deficit between the two countries, and she committed to exploring ways to increase Mexico’s imports of US goods.

The U.S. tariffs have already dealt a heavy blow to China’s manufacturing industry, but now the European Union has stepped in with additional measures. On April 28, the EU announced a tariff of up to 66.7% on Mobile Access Equipment (MAE) imported from China.
