A quick scan of the quality of life facts would suggest that China has more to learn from Mexico than vice versa. Perhaps China will escape the middle income trap, but it hasn't done so yet, and remains considerably poorer than Mexico.
I don't know much about Mexico or China, I was merely trying to point out that Anderson has a history of sensational controversial headlines, in Wired, and now post Wired.
Mexico and China are both curious countries to study. I have not been to Mexico, but China is developing extremely quickly.
This stuff always drives me a little nuts.
GDP per capita (PPP) (Wikipedia) Mexico: $15,177 China: $9,146
HDI (Wikipedia) Mexico: .77 China: .66
Percent living on $2 / day (PPP) http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.POV.2DAY Mexico: 5.2% China: 28.8%
