Following pressure from the United States, Mexico increasingly keeps Chinese car manufacturers at arm’s length. According to an exclusive Reuters report, the government no longer plans to offer incentives such as cheap public land or tax breaks for investments in electric car production. Furthermore, Reuters recently reported, citing three anonymous Mexican officials, that officials had made it clear to representatives of Chinese companies at meetings in January that they did not wish to hold any further meetings for the time being. They cited pressure from the office of the US Trade Representative to keep Chinese car manufacturers out of the free trade zone near the border, which was set up as part of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
