AMLO slaps the US on a daily basis hard nowadays though to be honest.
The only reason you don't see AMLO doing exercises or keeping Chinese bases there like you have the US in the Philippines is that China doesn't have that capability yet. If China had it, it would happen, no question.
Also, it is true that the US has the strongest global military force in the world, but its weakness is also that its "global".
Mexico probably doesn't fear them so hard, because they know that the US isn't stupid to waste any time or resources on them when they have to keep Iran, China, and Russia, which are way more important for their hegemony, hence two and a half other continents effectively in check.
You are, therefore, overestimating how much Mexico fears the US.
Yes, they fear them, but not like they did 30 years for example.
Nowadays more and more US forces and focus are on Russia, China, Iran, etc...
MSM keeps claiming that China is ready to join the debt relief effort. However, every indication from China is that it doesn't agree with World Bank, Paris Club or IMF's way of restructured debt.
From the look of it, even though China is only represented 22% of the loan but 75% of Zambia's debt that needed to restructure is owed to China. That means many Western institutional and private debts are off limit for restructuring. No wonder China isn't interested in the deal.
More than 70 low-income nations face a collective $326 billion debt burden, with more than half of them already in or near debt distress, including Zambia, Ethiopia and Ghana. In many cases, China is the largest creditor. For instance, 75% of Zambia’s debt that has to be restructured is owed to China, according to the IMF.
Of Zambia’s external debt, 46% is owed to private lenders, 22% to China, 8% to other governments and 18% to multilateral institutions. China is among the government lenders to agree a longer debt repayment schedule that private lenders, including banks, have so far resisted, Debt Justice said.

Not sure if this is true. I live in a urban community and while there are tendency to mingle within one's ethnic community. However, hate is a strong word and I do not see much animosity among the East Asian community. Sure there are some fragment of the community specially with some HK Chinese towards Mainland Chinese. But I think it is more because of their ingrained view of an outdated colonial world order.
However, I also hope this is quickly changing as I see less of such blatant animosity more recently. I have relatives in HK and I can see some behaviorial changes recently.
Otherwise, the trend seems to be less tension among the Asian community.
Now we wait for "America's Green Energy policies have failed: Here's why that could be a good thing" articles to show up.
