I’ve been to both countries many times. Here are my observations:
这两个国家我都去过很多次了，我的观察如下：
• The most obvious difference in terms of quality of life is that China is way safer and more stabilized than Mexco is. There are no towns in China that are run by drug cartels the same way there are in Mexco. Also, in Mexco, it is very common to see police officers wearing full body armor patrolling the streets. You don’t see that in China.
• That being said, the best thing I like about Mexco is that Mexcans are extremely friendly. In fact, I would say they are the friendliest people I’ve met. I speak no Spanish, but yet, every time I visit Mexco, I’m always greeted with smiles and friendliness. So many Mexcans would go out of the way to help me, even if we can’t communicate at all.
I’m not saying Chinese people aren’t friendly. Chinese people definitely are very friendly… but you have to pass their barriers first. Chinese people treat friends really well, but you really have to earn that friendship. Chinese people are quite rude to strangers (although that has been changing in recent years), whereas Mexcans are super friendly to everyone.
• I feel safer driving in Mexco than in China, although both countries are quite bad at road safety. Mexcan driving is aggressive, but as long as you are also aggressive, then driving in Mexco is absolutely doable (I’ve done this many times); but I’ve never driven in China before, and I don’t think I want to.
• Contrary to popular (American) beliefs, Mexcans are NOT lazy. In fact, they are some of the hardest working people around. The typical work week in Mexco is Monday through Saturday, so they work six days a week. I also believe Mexcans work longer hours per week more than any other country on the entire North American continent.
That being said, work culture in China is no joke, with the notorious 996 (9 AM to 9 PM, 6 days a week). My conclusion is that both countries are a nightmare to work in.
• Both countries have delicious food with questionable food safety. I love Chinese food, but I’m not so much a fan of Mexcan food, so I’m going with China on this one. But in terms of food safety… I’ve never gotten real food poisoning from either country, but I have felt dizzy and the “I want to puke” sensation multiple times from eating street food in both countries. So I guess we’ll just call this one a draw.
• Both countries are loud. People love blasting loud music everywhere. Mexcans work hard, but they party harder. Chinese people, on the other hand, are just loud in everything they do; from watching TV, to playing music, to talking, etc. Everything has to be done at ear-shattering volumes. I don’t like this aspect in either country.

• 就生活质量而言，很显然中国比墨西哥更安全、更稳定。中国没有哪个城镇会像墨西哥那样被贩毒集团牢牢控制。另外，在墨西哥经常能看到全身武装穿着防弹衣的警察在街上巡逻。但在中国是看不到的。

话虽如此，我最喜欢墨西哥的一点是墨西哥人非常友好。他们是我见过最友好的人了。我不会说西班牙语，但每次去墨西哥，我总能受到微笑和友好的欢迎。即便我们根本无法沟通，很多墨西哥人还是会不辞辛苦地帮助我。
我没有说中国人不友好。中国人也绝对可以说是非常友好的，但你必须先破冰。中国人对朋友真的很仗义，但你得先能凭本事赢得这种友谊。中国人对陌生人挺无礼(近年来有所改变了)，但墨西哥人对每个人都非常友好。

•虽然这两个国家的道路安全都不咋地，但我觉得在墨西哥开车还是比在中国更安全些。墨西哥人开车很冲，但只要你也一样，那么在墨西哥开车绝对没问题(我开过很多次了)；但我从来没有在中国开过车，我觉得我也不想尝试。
•跟普遍的美国看法相反，墨西哥人并不懒惰。事实上，他们可以说是最努力工作的人。墨西哥的工作周是周一到周六，所以他们每周要工作六天。我相信墨西哥人每周的工作时间也比整个北美大陆上的其他国家更长。
不得不说中国的工作文化可不是开玩笑的，比如恶名昭著的996(早9点到晚9点，一周6天)。所以我觉得在这两个国家工作都是噩梦。

•这两个国家都有美食，也都有食品安全问题。我喜欢中国菜，不太喜欢墨西哥菜，所以在这一点上我支持中国菜。但就食品安全而言，我在这两个国家都没有真的食物中毒过，不过我在这两个国家的街头吃小吃时，有过多次头晕和“想吐”的感觉。所以我想就当他们打成平手了吧。
•这两个国家都很吵。人们喜欢播放嘈杂的音乐。墨西哥人工作努力，但更热衷于聚会。中国人则不管做什么事都很大声；看电视大声，播放音乐大声，聊天也大声。他们干每件事都得搞出大动静。在这方面，两个国家我都很不喜欢。
• Mexco is a free country. Mexcans can vote for their representative and go on Facebook
