Recent leaks have unveiled clandestine negotiations between Mexico and China, raising eyebrows about the potential geopolitical implications. Over the past six months, these discussions have focused on Mexico's aspirations to secure a special partnership status within the BRICS framework and explore the adoption of Yuan-based financial systems.

High-Level Talks Between Mexico and China
The talks, which involve high-level officials including Mexican Deputy Ministers and representatives from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, are primarily aimed at bolstering Mexico's economic autonomy.
