TZILI-APANGO, Eduardo  e  LEGLER, Thomas. Mexico’s Elusive Partnership with China: The Search for Explanations. Norteamérica [online]. 2020, vol.15, n.2, pp.127-154.  Epub 25-Out-2021. ISSN 2448-7228.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cisan.24487228e.2020.2.406.

This article examines why Mexico has been unable to develop and sustain a closer bilateral relationship with China. The authors argue that three sets of interconnected historical and relational factors help explain this: a social relationship marked by distrust, stigmatization, and discrimination of the Chinese; the persistent perception of China as an economic threat; and, the weight of the United States, which makes the bilateral relationship in effect triangular. These elements form a three-part historical narrative that has operated against a sustained and stronger partnership between these two countries.

Palavras-chave : Mexico; China; bilateral relations; foreign policy; association.
