Is Mexico east or west of China?

Because the earth rotates on the earth's axis, there can be no absolute east and west poles like the south and north poles, so it can only be relative.

But because the rotation and revolution of the earth are from west to east, the east must be sunrise first, according to the time of sunrise, China must be located in the eastern hemisphere, that is, the so-called east, and Mexico must be located in the western hemisphere, that is, the so-called west.

To sum up, Mexico should be located to the west of China.

East. If we look at the earth as a regular sphere according to the principle of geography, the direction of the two places should be judged according to the inferior arc of the great circle where the two places are located. (It's the inferior arc of the circumference of two points on the spherical surface, and I'm not sure if I'm not good at math.)

Anyway, that's what it is)

Let's take a cursory look at the east-west border between the two countries:

China, 74°E in the west and 138°E in the east

Mexico, 118°W to the west and 87°W to the east

From the easternmost point of China to the westernmost part of Mexico, it is about 104°, which is much smaller than the semicircle of 180°, so take this inferior arc and establish coordinates with China as the center, and Mexico is to the east of China.

From the Atlantic Ocean is the West, and from the Pacific Ocean is the East.

The two countries are inherently opposite, so geographically both east and west are right, but traditionally we all think of Mexico as a Western country.

East, up, north, down, south, left, west, right, east.

The United States is on China's side, and Mexico is on that side.

The earth is round, brother......

Mexico is a country, the capital is Mexico City, in North America, and the State of Mexico is a state in the United States, with an area of 1,964,375 square kilometers, making it the third largest country in Latin America and the largest country in Central America. Located in the south of North America and the northwest tip of Latin America, it is a necessary place for land transportation in North and South America, known as the "land bridge". It is bordered by the United States to the north, Guatemala and Belize to the south, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea to the east, and the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California to the west.

The coastline is 11,122 km long. Among them, 7,828 kilometers on the Pacific coast, 3,294 kilometers on the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean coast. There are 3 million square kilometers of exclusive economic zone and 10,000 square kilometers of continental shelf.

The famous Isthmus of Tehuantepec connects North and Central America. The area of the country is about 5.6 plateaus and mountains. The Mexican Plateau is in the middle, flanked by the Sierra Madre Oriental, to the south by the New Volcanic Mountains and the Sierra Madre do Sul, to the southeast by the flat Yucatan Peninsula, and by many narrow plains along the coast.

The highest peak in the country, Orizaba, is 5,700 meters above sea level. The main rivers are the Bravo, Balsace, and Yaqui. Most of the lakes are distributed in the intermountain basins of the Zhongyu Brigade Plateau, and the largest is Chapala Lake, with an area of 1,109 square kilometers.

Mexico's climate is complex and diverse. The coastal and southeastern plains have a tropical climate, with an average annual temperature of 25-27 7. The climate of the Mexican plateau is mild all year round, with 24 intermountain basins and about 17 high-lying areas. The inland northwest has a continental climate. Most areas are divided into two seasons, drought and rain, and the rainy season concentrates 75% of the annual precipitation.

The average annual precipitation is less than 250 mm in the northwest, 750-1000 mm in the interior, and 1000-2000 mm in the central part of the Gulf Coast and the southern part of the Pacific Coast. Because the territory of Mexico is mostly plateau terrain, there is no severe cold in winter, there is no scorching heat in summer, and thousands of trees are evergreen in all seasons, so it enjoys the reputation of "plateau pearl". Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon.

Located in the southern part of North America. It is bordered by the United States to the north, Guatemala and Belize to the south, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest. The coastline is 11,122 kilometers long, including 7,828 kilometers on the Pacific coast and 3,294 kilometers on the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean coasts.

There are 3 million square kilometers of exclusive economic zone and 10,000 square kilometers of continental shelf. The famous Isthmus of Tehuantepec connects North and Central America. Five-sixths of the country is composed of plateaus and mountains.

It is surrounded by the Sierra Madre Mountains to the east, west and south, with the Mexican Plateau in the interior, the flat Yucatan Peninsula in the southeast, and many narrow plains along the coast.

From the eastern and western hemispheres and the northern and southern hemispheres, it is located in the western hemisphere, the northern hemisphere, in the case of the oak continent, it is located in North America, and in terms of the region, it is located in Latin America. In terms of neighboring countries, it is bordered by the United States to the north, Panama to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the east.
