    do you think the concept of on-shoring means American shores? Why would you w/NAFTA?

  2. right now...Alibaba is building large, full automated warehousing all over northern mexico. Shipping all the crap we buy from china...then handling it in a similar manor as Amazon in USA, only in mexico...shipping it across the border as a mexican product in real time as the orders come in. People have been saying the Ali Express items are arriving much faster and cheaper these days to US homes.

    So do we all agree that "Made in Mexico" is the same as "Made in China"?

  5. I think BYD's main business model for USA is to assemble a few models in mexico and ship them across as mexican made. But they will surely make most them in china and ship them to mexico as "destined for mexican market"..but in reality most of these will make it across the border.

    There is no NAFTA anymore. Trump killed it. Where were you for the last 10 years?

    don’t think any chinese cars have any chance to sell into the us market, sell to mexico, perhaps. amigos can drive across the border.

    Are there any Chinese cars to sell into the US market? Except the EV's that are recently developed with *cough cough* Elon's help?
