Imports: China vs. Mexico


Click to enlarge.

It looks to me like China's competitive advantage relative to Mexico has peaked. It happened during the Great Recession and we're well below that point now. I can't say with any certainty if the peak is permanent or simply temporary. I am willing to call it an exponential trend failure though.

In any event, I wonder what the savvy Chinese have to say about that?
