In 2023, the United States purchased more goods from Mexico than from China for the first time in two decades, marking a significant shift in global trade patterns. As global supply chains faced challenges during the pandemic, companies like Hisun, a Chinese manufacturer, sought to move their production to Mexico. This move was driven by various factors, including trade tensions between the US and China. New data revealed that Mexico surpassed China as the top source of official imports for the US, while the trade deficit with China decreased as American businesses and consumers turned to other countries for goods.
