Since the last decades of the twentieth century, in Mexico the external sector has gained a presence and has made it one of the most open economies. In this period the USA has remained as the main commercial partner; however, in recent years the commercial relationship with China has increased. This research estimate the effects of trade between China and Mexico in the productive sectors, with an emphasis on manufacturing employment. To know these impacts, we used the most recent product input matrices of the WIOD and a variant of the structural decomposition analysis. Also, the sectoral disaggregated effects of changes in exports and intermediate and final imports in the MexicoChina relationship are presented, and included policy proposals.

Keywords : China; Mexico; structural change; employment; manufacturing exports.
