The right comes to Larry Rubin's defense amid criticism from the Chinese Embassy.

MEXICO CITY (apro).- The National Council of the New Right condemned the statement by the “communist” Chinese Embassy in Mexico against the declarations of the president of the American Society, Larry Rubin, who on July 28 said that the nation should “avoid getting closer to the member countries of the BRICS, particularly Russia and China.”

"China uses Mexico solely as a platform for the export of valuable goods, concealing bad trade practices and taking advantage of our strategic position in supply chains, without providing real development or benefits," the conservative right-wing movement in Mexico, which identifies with US President Donald Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) political strategy, stated in a statement.

He also called the Chinese Embassy's statements about Rubin "abusive," accusing him of having a "deeply entrenched hegemonic mentality on the part of certain individuals in the United States."

Meanwhile, the American-Mexican was described as a man with "extensive political and business experience, who has every right to express his views on Mexico's relations with the BRICS countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, in addition to five new members."

"We categorically reject China's attempt to disqualify a Mexican, especially one of Rubin's stature. We respectfully, but forcefully, urge China to reflect on its history of intellectual property theft and unfair competition in Mexico and the United States," stated the Council, headed by Raúl Tortolero, a member of the National Action Party (PAN) and leader of the New Hispanic American Right.

And he added: "We suggest you look within your own territory, where freedom of expression, pluralism of parties, and religious freedom are not permitted (...) The hypocrisy of an authoritarian regime that seeks to lecture sovereign nations is evident."

The religious organization sided with the United States, which it described as a valuable partner for Mexico due to its investments and the strengthening of trade through the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement).
