Is Mexico's Nearshoring Economy BOOM a Myth? (THE REALITY CHECK)

Описание: Is Mexico's nearshoring boom real — or the most expensive piece of economic hype in recent memory?
In this deep-dive, we do a full reality check on Mexico's nearshoring story: the record FDI numbers, the infrastructure crisis, the tariff rollercoaster, the security costs, and the USMCA renegotiation that could define the next decade of North American trade.
We cover:
✅ Why Mexico became the US's #1 trading partner — and what that actually means
✅ The FDI paradox: record investment + shrinking GDP (how is that possible?)
✅ The electricity & water crisis threatening industrial growth in northern Mexico
✅ Trump's tariff chaos of 2025 — the full timeline and real economic impact
✅ Who's actually winning: the sectors and cities capturing the boom
✅ The security & rule-of-law fault line no investment brochure mentions
✅ The genuine bull case — why the opportunity isn't dead, just delayed
✅ The July 2026 USMCA review: the most consequential trade decision in a generation
✅ The verdict: myth, miracle, or something messier?
