China has enormous manufacturing "support system": they have (or have had) plenty of cheap electricity, cheap oil and other resources - they're right next to Russia with its vast supplies of everything. Add to that cheap transportation (railroad) reaching huge European market, while still serving Asian market as well. Moreover, Chinese labor is still cheaper than anything in Latin America. Did I also mention that ecology constraints in China are close to non-existent? Mexico doesn't have the scale of China nor Chinese location: it probably is better suited for US market but that's about it.
