China has launched an investigation into Mexico's planned import tariffs, citing them as a potential trade barrier. Mexico's move, with taxes up to 50% on over 1,400 Asian products, aims to protect domestic industries from U.S. tariffs. China argues this harms third-party interests and advocates against unilateralism. Beijing is also probing Mexican and U.S. pecan imports for dumping. Mexican President Sheinbaum denied rising tensions, proposing a working group for dialogue, asserting tariffs boost domestic production and are not U.S.-driven.
