Mexico-China diplomatic and trade relations

Overview

Mexico and China are engaging in diplomatic efforts to manage bilateral relations amid trade tensions. Following Mexico’s implementation of tariffs on various goods—including steel and aluminum—to protect domestic industries, Mexican Foreign Secretary Roberto Velasco traveled to Beijing to meet with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

During these discussions, Minister Velasco sought to strengthen political dialogue and cooperation, while Minister Wang emphasized that China-Mexico relations should not be “influenced or interfered with by external forces,” a comment made in the context of reported pressure from the United States regarding Mexican trade restrictions. Both officials expressed a commitment to sovereignty and discussed cooperation within the Global South and upcoming international forums such as the APEC summit.
