During the talks, Hu put forward a four-point proposal to cement Sino-Mexican relations:
--Strengthening political dialogue, maintaining high-level contact, and realizing the action plan from 2006 to 2010 to promote strategic partnership;
--Boosting a win-win economic cooperation. The Chinese government encourages its enterprises to invest in Mexico's infrastructure including ports, roads, and hydroelectric stations, and supports cooperation on mining, telecommunication, agriculture and the fishing industry;
--Pushing personnel exchanges in the fields of culture, education, traditional medicine and social development;
--Promoting multilateral cooperation and consultation on major international affairs so as to safeguard the legal rights of developing countries..................
Hola. I decided to visit your blog for once. Lookin' good.
ReplyDeleteAnd regarding the story, I think Mexico will find that its new relationship with China is not all its cracked out to be. The Chinese tend to bring in their own workers rather than hiring from the local population, which reduces the domestic economic impact of Chinese investment. The environmental impact, however, will be huge. Too bad we Americans will have to be breathing in that filth with every breeze that blows north.
