Key Takeaways

-It’s unlikely. The increase in Mexican exports to the US has been more significant than the increase in Mexican imports from China.

_ Mexico could be importing more from China because (1) it is an economic boom and (2) the US is also in an economic boom.

-We continue to associate Mexico’s gain in the share of US imports primarily with nearshoring and not rerouting.
