Over ten weeks ago, China reminded that world of the 1721 edict that essentially banned Catholicism from the country. Three hundred years later, the ban seems to remain in place; and for a country that promotes freedom, the ban remaining in place has put great concern in Mexico. As a response we will be halting economic ties between China and Mexico, unless something is done to right the wrongs of religious persecution. 68 billion dollars worth of trade will be officially closing, and the Mexican consumer market will be looking elsewhere for imports. The Kingdom of Siam have stepped up and have began discussions with Mexico City; the government will also be looking to Central America and Europe to compete for the 60 billion dollar consumer market that has just been left open.

This is also in response to the increasingly difficult economic relations with the Chinese, due to mirroring tactics that will inevitably restrict smaller economies and potentially put local family businesses at risk of being outcompeted by major companies. In consultation with the Secretariat of the Economy, to protect that Mexican economy from being overrun and outcompeted by Chinese businesses, harsh tariffs will be lifted as Mexico will be ceasing ties with China. Beijing's continues targeting towards policies that are to be more than harmful to a country like Mexico where local business do not have the resources to compete with a national corporation, specially those in Beijing who have billions of dollars worth of assets. It is no longer productive to maintain economic ties with the Zhen Dynasty.

There are also massive concerns as to how Beijing has been handling money; with recent statistics showing that the treasury of the Chinese State is not sustainable. With funds being taken out without immediate or even foreseeable long term payback. China is putting out money without seemingly looking at the consequences of its financial undertaking, the International Economics branch of the Bank of Mexico estimates that within the first few months of this year alone Beijing has already spent over $10 billion, and it is projected that from developments from these same plans will have China spent over 2 trillion of dollars in the next few years. Money that it undeniably has, but investments that China cannot secure. China's rapid and aggressive globalisation puts the world economy at risk of another great economic recession, if the Chinese economy was to suddenly run out of money. Mexico City was being very cordial with Beijing, implementing many justified tariffs so that Mexican business can flourish, but with mirroring tactics by Beijing, they have taken the ability for the Mexican economy to compete fairly.

Concerns are also raised with cooperation between Berlin and Moscow in Libya, to supposedly combat Daesh. Although we applaud the cooperation between Moscow and the West, recent activities have shown that Russian interests in Libya may not align with those of NATO. Russia is once again expanding its influence into the Middle East, Central Asia, and North Africa. This is something a blind man would be able to see from miles away; that is not the concerning part. Although that is of top interest, a very viable concern is that we are unsure of what Russian interests are. They have shown to be provocative to the British, and their involvements in the Ukraine remain to be of massive suspicion.

Our concerns grow every day with the state of Europe and our trust for NATO are beginning to slowly dwindle as certain countries have just not shown to be transparent. But this does not at all mean we are condemning the alliance; NATO is integral to global security. It is an international organisation, that does provide international stability, but ensuring security and is one of the greatest forms of deterrence. But Berlin itself knows of the capacity for Russia to be unpredictable, and so we can only advise our European partners to act cautiously and to remember that we are in constant anarchy.
