For a growing number of residents in Mexico and Brazil, shopping for products from Chinese brands and making purchases on Chinese e-commerce platforms has become commonplace, a series of self-recorded reports has revealed.
Several Mexican residents shared their shopping habits on Chinese cross-border e-commerce platforms like AliExpress, SHEIN, and TEMU.
"I've used and know Chinese products like clothing from SHEIN and TEMU," said a Mexican resident.
"I've placed orders on AliExpress, TEMU and SHEIN for household items and facial massage devices," another said.
"For Chinese products, I use AliExpress and also visit MINISO stores in Mexico," said a Mexican woman.
Latin American consumers said that they have become loyal customers for their favorite Chinese brands, such as consumer tech brands Xiaomi and Huawei.
"I know Xiaomi's watches and earbuds, and BYD's cars," a Brazilian resident said.
"I want to mention Xiaomi's smart band -- its features are excellent. I use it every day and I am very satisfied," said another Brazilian consumer, referring to a popular wearable fitness band.
"I use Huawei products every day, including earbuds and smartwatches," said a longtime Huawei user from Mexico.
For business owners, Chinese brands have become recognized as hot sellers.
"I know Chinese toys. I'm a retailer selling toys and umbrellas -- all come from China," said a Mexican merchant.
As Chinese manufacturers and e-commerce platforms expand deeper into overseas markets, coupled with the high quality of made-in-China products, brands are anticipating that more Latin American consumers will opt for Chinese goods in the future.
