Let's assume the US-Mexico relationship falls apart; how long before China tries to step in and fill the void - and eventually attempt a military footprint in Mexico?

China would clearly only get into such a relationship with Mexico if it was much more favorable to China, but Mexico might just go for it as a 'eff ewe' to the US.

That would be fun. The wall would be even more important in that scenario.

China needs us just as badly as Mexico does, though.

Is China short on low-cost labor?

There is no reason for this to happen. China is not a market for Mexican products. Mexico does not want cheap chinese products.

Well that would be a good way to start an actual war China can't win. People see them as some kind of military peer, but even after Obama has eviscerated our military for 8 years we could still crush the Chinese military with ease, especially if they are trying to fight that far from home. They don't have the logistics to project power

Ah yes the mighty consumer power of Mexico. I know weed is legal in many places, but some of y'all need to stop smoking it.
