I wonder how much of it is Chinese parts and materials being assembled in Mexico?

Still an improvement but you definitely have a point.

would be interesting to see how much did Mexico import from China the same year.

Good. We need to wean ourselves off of cheap Chinese manufacturing which empowers the anti-democratic CCP.

This made me groan, but also laugh. Smartass.

which is the way it should be. All trade should be as local as possible, everything else being even. Its funny that the one good thing people might mention from nixon turns out to be a real bad mistake.

Nice. I visited 2 Mexican breweries last week. Not bad. Really nice guys at the 2nd spot. One guy was a Boston Celtics fan... that added to the fun.
