In: Foro internacional: revista trimestral, Band 50, Heft 3-4, S. 778-807

Abstract

China and Mexico have been two of the most successful exporters of manufactured goods among the developing nations, but in recent years their exporting conditions have been different. China has increased its US market share in relation to Mexico since 2000. This is caused by lower labor costs, the growth of China's supply-chain cities, the Chinese strategy of consistent and diversified upgrading, foreign direct investment, and the redirection of investment towards its own huge domestic market. To improve its international competitiveness, Mexico needs to improve its production networks and place renewed emphasis on the domestic market. Adapted from the source document.
