Yup - and those Mexican factories are owned by Chinese firms. Hopefully they will employ / contribute positively towards Mexico's economy.
Not really.
The bulk of FDI in Mexico comes from the US, EU, Canada, UK, and Japan [0]
The China factor plays well in the news but German (Siemens, Schneider) and Spanish (SEAT/Volkswagen) have a massive historical presence in Mexican industry, and at the end of the day, NAFTA/USMCA makes it very easy for American companies to operate within Mexico (and vice versa).

https://www.freightwaves.com/news/chinese-manufacturer-inves... says 5 Billion, so perhaps the landscape is changing rapidly.
Take the L dude. A couple high profile assembly plant openings don't signify a massive change in foreign investment patterns in a country with a Trillion Dollar GDP

The myth about china's money is entirely that. Myth spread by propagandists. When you look at the numbers, europeans are buying up most of the world.
Look at brazil. The dutch pump more money into brazil than the US.

But you won't see that in the news. If you do it won't be portrayed in a threatening manner. It's always the chinese or the japanese or the arabs buying up everything. When the numbers tell you otherwise.
On June 12, 2008, The Wall Street Journal stated that Anheuser-Busch InBev, which owned a non-controlling 50% stake in the company, might attempt to acquire the remaining 50%.[3] On June 29, 2012, it was announced that Anheuser-Busch InBev would acquire the remaining 50% stake for an all-cash price of $20.1 billion.[4] On January 31, 2013, the US Department of Justice filed an antitrust suit in an attempt to prevent the buyout. The matter was settled, and the two companies merged in June 2013,[5] with the transfer of all United States rights to Constellation Brands.[6] As a result, all the company's brands are made (in Mexico) by an unrelated company. In the United States, Grupo Modelo brands are distributed by Constellation Brands.
And in the rest of the world too excluding the US.
