China and Mexico 2012-2018

Mexico's relations with China in the six-year period 2012-2018 did not change significantly compared to previous governments. Mexico maintained a policy of not considering China's weight in the international community, nor the characteristics of its political system or its major economic projects. Although relations between the two countries began with the slogan of "relaunching", they were damaged by the failures of Chinese economic projects in Mexico. Diplomatic relations followed their normal course, with meetings between officials at various levels and the signing of interesting cooperation agreements. For its part, China maintained an effective cultural policy of creating favourable public opinion among academics, politicians and the media.
