China accuses the United States of fueling drug trafficking violence in Mexico

China's embassy in Mexico accused the United States of fueling drug-related violence by creating demand for drugs and trafficking arms. The embassy expressed strong discontent with U.S. Ambassador Ronald Johnson's comments, which suggested that China benefits from a chaotic Mexico. It highlighted that U.S. drug demand supports cartels and that illegal arms from the U.S. contribute to violence in Mexico. The embassy questioned whether the U.S. is genuinely concerned about Mexico or deflecting responsibility. Additionally, it criticized U.S. attempts to undermine Chinese companies while seeking business opportunities for American firms. This exchange of accusations comes amid ongoing trade tensions between the two nations, with Chinese companies looking to Mexico for production opportunities.
