Descripción
Sumario:In 2020, China displaced the United States as the main country of origin of cross-border M&A type investments and ranked fourth as the origin of new greenfield projects. This process has been accompanied by a growing diversification of investments towards activities in electricity, construction of transport infrastructure, manufacturing, finance, and information and communication technologies. The article examines the determinants of Chinese direct investment in Mexico from a systemic and territorial perspective under the premise that the growing presence of direct investment by Chinese private companies in the AAI is explained by the favorable prospects for demand generated by the presence of global assemblers in Mexico and location variables such as proximity to the United States, agglomeration economies and the benefits of the USMCA.
