WASHINGTON -- For the first time in more than two decades, Mexico last year surpassed China as the leading source of goods imported to the United States. The shift reflects the growing tensions between Washington and Beijing as well as U.S. efforts to import from countries that are friendlier and closer to home.

Figures released Wednesday by the U.S. Commerce Department show that the value of goods imported to the United States from Mexico rose nearly 5% from 2022 to 2023, to more than $475 billion. At the same time, the value of Chinese imports imports tumbled 20% to $427 billion.

I think there are two possible outcomes for china - either they start war or they turn into a full welfare-state. Otherwise it's hard to keep the country united.

China will become increasingly irrelevant as the world economy decouples from it.

China is still a good market, we will just need to look for opportunities in a new ruled based global trade system

Current confrontation approach is not working at all, and is hurting global economy and pushing global security into a more dangerous than before situation

China = no rules, no laws, no scruples. If you want opportunities stay far away from China.

It's not easy for foreigners to fuel unrest in China now. China also has its social media platform to brainwash its citizens.
Right now, China's doors are open to the world.
What if China is forced to close its door to the US and its client states?
