México en Asia del Pacífico

Between 1988 and 2018, Mexico experienced a Pacific Era in which the government participated in the main regional organizations and showed a strong interest in regional economic processes. The Andrés Manuel López Obrador administration broke discursively with the neoliberalism of its predecessors; despite announcing that the market would not replace the state, the latter stopped participating in international politics. This abstention had two consequences: it put an end to the Pacific Era and conditioned changes in trade relations with the countries of the region. The traditional markets of America, Asia and Oceania lost relevance, favoring Taiwan, China and South Korea; and eight Asian economies stand out as a source of manufacturing supplies, with Vietnam, Taiwan and Malaysia standing out as alternatives to China
