Abstract: This study provides answers to a number of important questions of value to businesses deciding to locate manufacturing operations in China and/or Mexico. One aspect of the analysis involves highlighting comparative advantages and disadvantages between Mexico and China as possible venues for relocating manufacturing. The analysis also includes an overview of the NAFTA agreement focused on Mexico and the accession of China to the WTO. It also comments briefly on the potential that India has of becoming an attractive low cost country for outsourcing especially operations within the service industry.
