60% increase in China-Mexico container shipping imports in Jan 2024 raises suspicions of Mexico becoming a 'backdoor' into the US during trade war.

60% increase in container shipping imports from China to Mexico in Jan 2024 raises suspicions of Mexico becoming a "backdoor" into the US during ongoing trade war. China-Mexico trade lane is now among the strongest globally, with 117,000 TEUs shipped in Jan 2024, up from 73,000 TEUs in Jan 2023. This growth may be due to businesses trying to bypass US tariffs on goods imported from China.
