cheap labor compared to what?

The US, duh! Cheap plus close distance to reduce shipping costs and time

The labor standards are converging and Mexico investments are at record.

They have not converged to nearly any comparable point and have no reason to beyond the rare instance where $16 per hour may be applicable. And even when they do, it is from US insistance, NOT from Mexican "soft power."

stronger compared to Mexico?

Yes, America's economy is stronger than Mexico's by nominal GDP, PPP, per capita, wages, every measure that a sane person measures the economy by.

Is Mexico doing debt negotiation. does Mexican universities needs so much international students.
have you looked at record immigrant flows both legal and illegal.

What nonsense is this? Anybody can do debt negotiation. US has far far more international students and immigration than Mexico.

look up Reagan 1986 amnesty.

Mexico is gaining skills and investments in factories. These will ultimately lift there wealth, life expectancy.

"Will". Imaginary future. Right now, everything weaker than the US.

so show me how many and what skills.

You're an idiot. This has been shown to you multiple times. A third of Mexico's PhDs are in America. Did you forget?

didnt i put the link that 1.6M Americans resides in Mexico and they have the busiest land border.

Yeah, they have the busiest border because Mexicans keep trying to illegally enter. You showed 1.6 Americans but you never showed what they were doing over there. According to you, show me "what skills."

Aviation is the strategic industry both for US and Arabs.

No citation? So basically it's nobody's standard and you made shit up again, didn't you?

The places which are Tourist and Safe will be expensive as more tourist and investment flows to Mexico.

Yeah, but not everybody's looking to get tourist-trapped in Cancun. And the average cost of living and per capita resources/PPP is what matters, not just select tourist destinations. Once again, you wanted to pick the most expensive thing in Mexico and represent it as the average or commonplace, which, among a plethora of other reasons, is why you're an idiot.

Americans need ever more help from outside and you think they can go to Mexico and help them.

No I don't think that. I think you're full of shit.

There were close to 1m Canadians residing in US and that was before Covid.

Management and manpower are created by Society through values which is Soft Power. You dont need an MBA to be an effective leader.

No, manpower is not created by values. Slaves are manpower, butlers are manpower, and "glorious" workers in a Communist country are all manpower despite all the different social values. If you have people whose bodies are able to work, you have manpower. If you know how to spend and save resources, you have the intellect for superior management and it doesn't matter what social values are around you. All hard power. You don't know what soft power is and you continuously run away from defining it after multiple failures.

some countries can do manufacturing, construction and farming better than others.

Mainly, cheaper than others and with excellent shipping logistics to the US for Mexico. The ones that can do better are those who have high tech equipment and genetic technologies to improve quality of yield. Mexico is not one of them.

Nothing about my approach contradicts what you advocate. The current approach of good relations with Russia has generated significant benefits for China, so it should be sustained. Should the circumstances change, China's approach and relationship should necessarily change.

You are basically broadcasting to everybody on this planet that China will screw everybody once the circumstance change. It is exactly the same thing that US and its puppies have been saying all these years.

It is impossible for me to distinguish you from the US propaganda. BTW, I see that you are from India, is it why you said what you said?

If a relationship is no longer win win than you should make the necessary changes right?
Let say the west succeeds in 30 years to do a soft coup in Russia then by all means China will have to prepare.

U.S. turns to private Japan shipyards for faster warship repairs​

The U.S. Navy is studying the use of Japan's private shipyards to maintain, repair and overhaul its warships in a bid to reduce servicing backlogs back home -- an idea that could expand to South Korea, Singapore and the Philippines.

If realized, the move would signal a new level of integration with allies and partners as the U.S. maneuvers in the face of a now-larger Chinese naval fleet.

U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel is leading the efforts, speaking with members of Congress and mobilizing embassy staff to reach out to the Japanese government, Nikkei Asia has learned.

This sounds great. if the US need other countries to build/repair their ships, then Russia doesn't need to be shy about working with China to build/repair ships when time is right.

Sure one has to prepare for future aggression from somebody, but not prepare to attack someone who isn't acting as enemy. That is the huge difference.

If you read the post that I replied to, you should have realized that the suggestion was to "screw someone unprovoked".

But for some reason is absolutely right that Washington borrows money from China to give money to corporate welfare queens and subsidize weapons contractors buying overpriced weapons to mess around nuclear armed powers.

You're absolutely right, we should follow your approach instead and simp for Russia forever even if it isn't in the national interest to do so.

People with different positions will have different meanings when they say this sentence. For example, as a person who insists on China-Russia friendly cooperation, the meaning of this sentence is definitely that if the world situation changes dramatically in another direction again, China and Russia may abandon their close quasi-alliance status of back-to-back and return to the normal partner status of maintaining such a safe distance in the past.

The wording of this CNN article is atrocious and insulting. They basically insinuate that the firing is due to pressure on HK to keep Beijing happy. Sure cause discrimination of mainland Chinese is ok. So if an air flight attendant was racist to an American person of color than their firing is not to keep Washington happy but because they were racist. This is why I feel trying to increase soft power in the west is a fools errand, they can turn anything into something negative.

Making it even worse is that the article was written by two Chinese staff at CNN. Fucking hanjians.

Don't insert your word, China's relationship with any other country is based on mutual respect, mutual benificial, non agression. That means "not to screw someone without provocation".

It is basic knowledge in human relationship to defend oneself from agression, but also NOT to screw somebody unprovked. I repeat the analog that I have been saying in this forum, you are telling a newly wed couple in their wedding party to prepare knives in case of possible future betrayal. Nobody is so naive to need your advice, but you make yourself sound like "无事生非“ (much ado about nothing) and "挑拨离间" (sow discord).
