Mexico was the first to come out and cooperate with the US in imposing tariffs on us! On August 28, according to foreign media reports, the foreign media reported that the Mexican government plans to increase tariffs on China in the 2026 budget proposal to be announced next month, to protect domestic companies from the impact of Chinese imports, and to meet President Trump's long-standing demands. Three sources familiar with the matter said that the proposed tariff increases are expected to cover imported goods such as automobiles, textiles, and plastics.
Evidently, Mexico is unable to withstand the pressure from the United States and has come out to take us as a scapegoat. Obviously, facing the US's tariff bullying, Mexico is willing to offend us in order to cater to the US. However, previously, we have already made it clear that any country reaching an agreement with the US must not do so at the expense of our interests. If Mexico imposes additional taxes on our products, we will definitely retaliate, and there is no doubt about this.
In fact, Mexico's short-sighted actions will not make the US stop, but instead will make the US become even more extreme. Now that Mexico is yielding to the US, this will only make the US more certain that Mexico is a soft target. Moreover, in terms of Sino-Mexican trade relations, China has been the second-largest trading partner of Mexico for many years. Sacrificing the economic and trade relationship with China is of no benefit to Mexico. From our perspective, we will never allow such a bad example to appear. The choice is up to Mexico to think through carefully?
