Plans to build a massive complex for the sale of Chinese merchandise in Cancun have triggered an outcry from Mexican industrialists and environmentalists.
If it goes ahead as planned at an initial cost of 180 million dollars, Dragon Mart Cancun will stock furniture, jewelry, electronics, toys, construction materials and other goods, targeting wholesalers in the growing markets across Latin America and the Caribbean. With 722 homes for the Chinese administrators of its 3,040 showrooms, it would be the largest trading center for Chinese products in the western hemisphere.
