Here is the powerful China formula for commercial dominance that everyone needs to know. Build up massive capacity. Achieve scale. Reduce costs. And then export like a bat out of hell all over the world. This is exactly how China overwhelmed the solar panel industry. Will cars be next? You bet. In fact, it is already happening. China today has the capacity to build 40 million cars and trucks a year. Domestic demand is about half of that. So, this year, China will export 5 million vehicles to more than 100 markets worldwide this year. And, that is not all. As China's domestic economy stalls, there is more pressure, more incentive to export than ever before. Mr Jorge Guajardo joins us again this week for Part II of our conversation about what to expect as Chinese companies push into global markets. They will be bringing stunningly low priced items from cars to used bulldozers to cement mixers. Are you ready for the barrage?

Who supplies the most cars to the Mexican market? If you guessed China, you are not wrong. China is flooding the market with low cost gasoline-powered and electric vehicles. Leading brands include SAIC-MG, Great Wall and Chery. But there's more. One of every two vehicles GM sells in Mexico is built in China. Meanwhile, Chinese suppliers are pouring into supporting Tesla's Giga 6 factory in Monterrey. What do Mexico's leaders make of this mass Chinese arrival? Will the Chinese automakers use Mexico as a base camp for invading the US market? With me today is Jorge Guajardo, former Mexican ambassador to China. He was there for six full years. I I really appreciate Jorge's knowledge of how Chinese people think and his candor. He of course also knows the top people - Jorge met with BYD founder Wang Chuanfu more than ten years ago. What did he see and hear from Wang that made the biggest impression?

On Mexican Independence Day, Paola Meinzer sits down with the Mexican Ambassador in Chicago: Reyna Torres. While Paola was born in Colombia and raised in South America, she has become very close with the Latino and Mexican community in Chicago.  Reyna's parents were both involved in the medical field, while Reyna was growing up in Mexico. Yet, despite not having anyone in her family in the political arena, Reyna has always had an interest in worldly affairs and shares her motives behind her career choice.  “My brother is a doctor, my sister is in education, so I'm the only crazy one that decided to pursue a career in diplomacy. I was always very much interested in what was going on in the world. I wanted to know, to learn and travel.” As the first woman appointed to the office of Mexican Ambassador in Chicago, it is a sign that we are progressing in the right direction. It is a grand responsibility to oversee such a large demographic. As she points out, Chicago is actually the second largest Mexican consulate in the United States.  “Chicago is part of our consulate network of 50 consulates in the United States; five in Canada. So it's very, very large. Out of those 50 offices undoubtedly the most important are the biggest ones where our community resides in large numbers. Chicago is always in second place after Dallas in the amount of services that we provide. People may think that perhaps LA is the largest one.” The Latino community has grown exponentially in population, in the United States, in recent years. Yet it is Mexicans that make up the majority. Making up 35 million people, 11 million of those individuals were born in Mexico. So, while the population is mostly spanish speaking, Reyna shares how the consulate  “Mexicans here, we're very paternalistic. We try to make them speak Spanish. Stay close to the culture of Mexico. That's something positive. Both those things are positive, but cannot be all the programs that we have. We wanted to do more. So now that we have changed like 180 degrees, what we're doing is promoting a Mexican American community that is bilingual, that is bicultural and binational. We want them to feel stronger because they have a foot on one side of the border and on the other.” Tune in to learn more about Reyna Torres and the work the Mexican consulate is doing in Chicago and across the country.

Following months of rising Central American migration through Mexico to the United States, the U.S. and Mexican governments on June 7, 2019 signed a joint declaration pledging to work together to manage and reduce irregular migration. The accord effectively marked a new era in the development of Mexico’s immigration enforcement and humanitarian protection systems. To avert the imposition of tariffs on Mexican goods threatened by President Donald Trump, the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador agreed to deploy its recently created National Guard to combat illegal immigration and accepted the expansion of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP, also known as Remain in Mexico) along the entirety of the U.S.-Mexico border. In turn, the Trump administration agreed to expedite asylum processing for migrants waiting in Mexico under MPP and committed to addressing the conditions driving migration by investing in economic development efforts in southern Mexico and Central America. While the full effects of the U.S.-Mexico cooperation agreement will take years to unfold, the Migration Policy Institute has assessed the changes during the accord’s first year. At the agreement’s one-year anniversary, MPI researchers Andrew Selee and Ariel Ruiz Soto engaged in discussion with former U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Roberta Jacobson, former Mexican Ambassador to the U.S. Gerónimo Gutiérrez, and journalist Angela Kocherga about the changes it has sparked. The panelists also discussed how the agreement, coupled with U.S. policies designed to narrow access to asylum, has increased demand for humanitarian protection in Mexico, exposed significant weaknesses in the systems for protecting vulnerable migrants and exacerbated precarious conditions for migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border. As both countries face mobility challenges due to COVID-19, speakers explored how these changes may affect the future of U.S.-Mexico relations. 

Mexico in many ways was seen as the model of how to react to a pandemic after facing the H1N1 pandemic in 2009 which forced the government to shut down part of the country. At the same time, Mexico faced the effects of the financial crisis that originated in the US in 2008 and organized crime was rising in the northern part of Mexico. With this experience, why Mexico has been one of the last countries in Latin America to establish social distance measures to fight covid19? In this episode we hear from Arturo Sarukhán , he is the former Mexican Ambassador to the the United States from 2006 to 2013. “Lopez Obrador probably feels that Mexico overreacted in 2009 and in many ways, in his view, he doesn't want to repeat what he sees as mistakes that were done in 2009” “There is a sort of DNA in this (AMLO's) government that everything that preceded is wrong. So the protocols that Mexico put in place in 2009 are to be avoided at all costs” “One of the reasons the Mexican government mobilized late in the game has to do with his (AMLO's) convoluted view of everything that preceded” “Marcelo Ebrard as a mayor of Mexico City in 2009 was taking measures even more draconian (to fight the H1N1 pandemic). It is paradoxical because he is now the foreign minister and somehow is fueling this new rhetoric” “in Mexico, you see a lot of what you see in the US in the way cities and states are responding to the pandemic” “Governors who started out with a more Laissez-faire, don't ask don't tell positions regarding who was in operation and who wasn't, especially in the northern border because of the connectivity with the US, who now, because we have seen spikes in contagion in several of the maquiladoras facilities along the northern border and are now doing 180 degrees U-turn and are shutting down everything even though the federal government has not issued such orders” “Where Brazil has had a chaotic foreign policy, Mexico doesn't have a foreign policy” “This government says that the best foreign policy is a good domestic policy” “The Medical instruments industry is hugely important for the US. The largest imports of medical devices come from Mexico. So, Mexico would have the backbone because of its integrated supply chains in North America, to be able to lead coordinated response with the rest of Latin America”

We wrap up our border series, Between a Wall and a Hard Place, by taking a step back and looking at the region as a whole. Ali talks to Mexican Ambassador to the U.S. Martha Bárcena Coqui about practical solutions to meet border challenges and what an ideal future for the U.S.-Mexico border would look like.

WASHINGTON, DC — With the American economy thriving but uncertainty continuing to hang over the future of free and fair global trade, The Ripon Society and Franklin Center for Global Policy Exchange held a breakfast discussion yesterday morning with three leaders who are working to ratify the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), a plan that would modernize the current trade agreement between the three countries, and provide individuals and businesses with an updated regulatory environment in which they can work and compete. The leaders included: Mexican Ambassador to the United States Martha Bárcena Coqui; Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Kevin Brady (TX-8); and, Scotty Greenwood, CEO of the Canadian American Business Council. Former Minnesota Congressman Erik Paulsen, who served on the Ways & Means Trade Subcommittee while in office and now serves as Co-Chair of a coalition pushing to pass the USMCA – moderated the discussion.

Series: "Mexico Moving Forward" [Public Affairs] [Show ID: 28129]

Speakers: John Feeley, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, U.S. Department of State Arturo Sarukhan, Chairman, Global Solutions/A Podesta Company; former Mexican Ambassador to the U.S. Jorge Suarez-Velez, Founding Partner, SP Capital Duncan Wood, Director, Mexico Institute, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Moderator: Leon Krauze, Anchor, Univision KMEX, Los Angeles. New national leadership in Mexico, and renewed national leadership in the United States, create the conditions for redefining the two countries' relationship. In recent months, the headlines about drug violence and corruption have been superseded by a narrative about the thriving Mexican economy, the "Aztec Tiger." Current political trends in the U.S. have raised expectations of progress on the issues of migration and cross-border security. Amid this opening, our panel will focus on the economic alliance between the U.S. and Mexico, with a special emphasis on the energy and financial sectors. What kinds of business collaborations and financial initiatives can promote further prosperity in both countries, which already trade $1.5 billion in goods each day?

The grandson of refugees in Mexico, Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan is a career diplomat. He was Deputy Assistant Secretary for Inter-American Affairs and was posted in 1993 to the Mexican Embassy in the United States where he first served as Chief of Staff to the Ambassador, and then as head of the counternarcotics office. In 2000 he became Chief of Policy Planning at the Foreign Ministry and was appointed by the President as Mexican Consul General to New York City in 2003. He took a leave of absence from the Foreign Service in 2006 to join the presidential campaign of Felipe Calderón as Foreign Policy Advisor and International Spokesperson, and became Coordinator for Foreign Affairs in the transition team. In November 2006 he received the rank of Ambassador, and in February 2007 was appointed Mexican Ambassador to the United States.

Mexico and the United States share a centuries-long history, a dynamic border region and a vibrant economic relationship. The interconnectedness of the U.S. and Mexican economies is undeniable. When the North American Free Trade Agreement was implemented on January 1, 1994, the two neighbors, along with Canada, created one of the world's richest and largest trading blocs. Mexican-Americans are an influential and prominent part of U.S. society and presidents of both countries have encouraged good neighborly relations. But the flow of undocumented immigrants from Mexico has provoked sharp controversy, prompting the U.S. to fortify its southern border and crack down on workers and employers as lawmakers in Washington stalemate on comprehensive immigration reform. Unprecedented bilateral cooperation on border security and intelligence since 9/11 has been overshadowed by the struggle both countries are waging against drug-related crime as Mexico in particular leads an intense fight against organized crime. In the early 21st century, Mexico and U.S. are as important to one another as ever before. At a time when greater collaboration is vital, Arturo Sarukhán, Ambassador of Mexico, visits Zócalo to examine this unique relationship and discuss shared challenges and opportunities of the future.
