Mexico Soft Power has to attract investment before any kind of rules implemented. Mexico sign it as they know they can easily surpass this number.

so you think GDP per capita going to tell me about wealth of society?. think harder who need those expensive life insurance and long term care policies.

Where is Mexico debt negotiation?. Mexico does not need so many international students due to internal strength of society.

Busiest is the official border. if they have enough money to cross borders often they they are well off.
So who teaches in Mexico universities ?.

Its standard if you look around. Civil Aviation surpass every thing else and thats what Arabs invests to create Soft Power.
and thats why most countries put flight statistics as this most often expensive mode of transportation. Europe practically eliminated cheap flights. only US can afford to subsidize on such scale.

I am saying there is not much place for Americans to retire there cheaply in Mexico as compared to deindustrialized towns of US rust belt unless you think US workforce in those towns inferior to Mexico.

Mexico has historic connections and they produce more so there population will dominate hispanic.

Mexico manpower strength is acknowledged as there life Expectancy exceeds what Communist could achieve with there population They are open to go to North America or any other place world. It is not some one force them to work on assembly lines.
look at this picture. Mexico soft power is on display but i am not going to spoon feed you what is soft power in this one. Soft Power not every one can recognize in every situation.

One quick question: if Arabs have intrinsic soft power and if Mexico is welcoming to all Arab soft power, how come there isn't a banquet held for very traditional Arabs from Yemen, Egypt or Jordan?

How come only rich Arabs get banquets?

No, Mexico's manufacturing capacity, which is its hard power, does the attracting. Soft power is just going around begging for contracts you can't fulfill.

In what, 100 years? LOL Right now, they are not there and nowhere close to there. They are at $5.30 per hour. They signed it because that's what the US required.

People who might get sick. You "think" harder and write up the definition of soft power; before then, you are debating words you don't understand.

I don't know; you said it. You show it.

Like Mexico does not need foreign investment? LOL Everytime you say what Mexico wants/needs, Mexico wants to slap you.

So leaving a poor country to drive/immigrate to a wealthier country is now a sign of wealth for the poor country now? LOLOL Stuuuupid.

Teachers. If you have a point, try to make it because you're way to stupid to trap me with my own words. Don't even try.

No, "you look around" is not a source. A source needs to be from an official economic body that says that a country's capability is measured by the ability of its airport to hire traffic controllers to handle air traffic. Can you find this?

Nope, that article doesn't say that either. Just random bullshit that isn't evidence for anything being argued.

Average cost of living in Mexico is lower than those US towns. How stupid are you, you can't understand this? I've posted like 3 links on it already.

The point is not at all they they "dominate hispanic"; it's that you posted that 1 million Canadians live in the US as if it meant something. Well, whatever you think it means, there are 37X more Mexicans.

That is the most random unrelated sentence... and wrong too. Cuba has a much higher life expectancy than Mexico and they are communist. It's like magic; even the unrelated stuff you say is wrong. You just have to be wrong...

Well, US border patrol doesn't let them come into the US so they better work on assemly lines in Mexico or become unemployed and homeless.

Your picture is garbage. It's a room full of people sitting there eating. Looks like the food court at the mall has more soft power than Mexico... by your definition. Rich Arab investment = hard power. I've spoon fed you many times but it seems you have no mouth, just assholes so you can't eat knowledge.

“China wants the U.S. side to show sincerity,” said Yun Sun, director of the China program at the Stimson Center, a Washington think tank. “It doesn’t want to have those talks, only to face more U.S. sanctions later.”

I’m sorry, I’m confused. What exactly are you two arguing about?

KYli said:

You want to decouple and you got coupled, why complain now. "This is a mafia-like legal system bullying an American company", didn't the US impose sanctions on hundreds of Chinese companies so it is fine when the US does it but when China retaliates it is not OK, the US can't accept the fact that China can and will retaliate. I think the US is scared not about Micron got sanctioned but feared what to come such as Qualcomm and Apple etc.

My comments from almost 2 years ago is more relevant than ever.

Fedupwithlies said:

Ok, but I'm not convinced the US will back down if they lose their bases in Asia. The US has a lot of force projection capabilities such as aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, strategic bombers. They can also create ICBM's, and they're probably looking at SpaceX's capabilities in Earth-to-Space-to-Earth deployments. They can also build, they just don't want to, because things are expensive. Its not like they don't have the capability to build, or the expertise. Its that they don't have the will to spend the money. That can change.

So my belief is that the overseas bases are an aspect of the MIC in general, but not critical to the US core interest. The overseas bases save money for the US, otherwise they'd have to build maybe twice as many strategic assets like the B-2, the Ford-Class, the Virginia and the Ohio classes. Which don't go away when the overseas bases go away... but will go away if either the USD or the MIC fall.

Furthermore, I think although some countries have pulled away from the US, there's Japan, South Korea, and soon Australia and India who will still allow the US (and in the case of Japan, India and Australia) join in on any attack on China. And the only reason SK won't join in is because of NK - the SK gov't is entirely dictated to by the US just like Japan.

So even if the US overseas bases and alliances get chipped away by China, a country like Thailand isn't a critical aspect to the Alliance system, because the US still has and will most likely always have SK, Japan, Australia.

I'm also going to add, and sorry for the double post, that yea, both the MIC and the USD are incredibly well protected and mammoth institutions for which trying to take down is basically impossible.

But chipping away at it little by little, like the US is chipping away at China's counter-Taiwanese independence, is what needs to happen. Its always just a tiny little, "c'mon what's the big deal?" step forward. And if you can shake the MIC or the USD just a little, you'll be shaking the very foundations of the US.

In the struggle for hearts and minds against Russia, Europe has it sights on a new target. Unfortunately for them, Latin America's not listening.

An extended charm offensive by senior diplomats from major European nations and institutions has sought to win over neutrally-minded Latin American nations to their cause as part of the broader geopolitical battle with Russia and China.

I'd say if anything, it just makes it even more imperative for China to totally take down the US MIC in its entirety, not only for China's own good but for the rest of the world as well, and China is much closer to actually achieving that than anybody is able to recognize, especially on the technological-industrial front.
