China is Training the Mexican Army and Americans are not Aware of it

Jane’s Addiction is a well-known band. It has a catch-phrase: “nothing’s shocking”! This phrase does not quite cover all the emotions and feelings that I have but it’s a start.

I have a friend, let’s call him “Bob”. Bob works on my cars. He is a great guy, a hard worker and a fairly well-liked business owner.

Bob decided to take his parents to Puerto Vallarta in Mexico as a Christmas present. He said while he was there he noticed that China was building military installations and offering military training to Mexican citizens.

Bob said he saw people flying what looked like surf boards back and forth out into the ocean. He said he was told that he could not take pictures of this because it was a military exercise.

I am interested in why the Chinese are on the American border training the Mexican military. The role of the State Department is to help prevent war from reaching our shores and borders. But here are the Chinese on our border training Mexican soldiers. The State Department is still to address this matter.

America has several bases in neighbouring countries to China. It also recently ended a lithium conglomerate between Bolivia and China by contributing to the recent coup there. China’s presence on our border is the result of lack of planning and self-interest.

We are losing our global influence. The cracks in President Donald Trump’s foreign policy are widening for everyone to see. This is not the best we as a people can do. We put up with this probably because we don’t know where the truth lies.

My friend Bob told me Mexico was trading oil for weapons, from Canada and China! It’s good to hear that Mexico feels that they can still trust Canada!

The ousted president of Bolivia and thousands of refugees are being protected in Mexico from American aggression while the Statue of Liberty sheds a tear off the east coast. It is an intercession for our salvation, a prayer that our country won’t prey on the destitute of this world any long.

    I’d like a little more hard evidence in this story Jack. If its true it is larger than we think. Other than your friend, is there any reports of this?

    I wrote this article from the info that I was given from my friend after I picked up my car from him. I agree with what you said. My point in the whole matter is we need to improve relations, while we invest in domestic production. I think if Trump would of told our trade partners in Mexico and China in a respectful way that we have to work on this or the US will be in a critical place economically things would be better than the hostile place we are at today..

    I’ve read of this in a couple of articles , most look like conspiracy militia stuff , I cannot but think after all the belligerent racist talk from Trump that this has crossed the mind of all Mexican government officials as of late , China is looking to manufacture in Mexico while walking gingerly towards this end. They have built a large port in Venezuela as of late , I believe Mexico is on the horizons for China, We as a neighbor should look towards renewed relations to safe guard from this reality!, I believe it shows a possible animosity of The US Mexico/China relations.

    You are right to question , thank you. You have given me a chance to tell why I wrote this article!. It just flowed from a artistic stand point but to be clear it was hear say, from a source that has first hand knowledge in the matter, But I believe that it shows that there is at least concern in Mexico amongst Mexicans that relations are not the best!
