The head of the Federal Authority for the Development of Special Economic Zones (ZEE), Gerardo Gutiérrez Candiani, said that China has shown great interest in various infrastructure projects and even plans to perform as a full administrator. "There is a lot of interest, especially in the part of Lázaro Cárdenas, and we are working with Chinese companies," said Candiani during the past XIII Summit of the Pacific Alliance (AP), which took place in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.

The Special Economic Zone (ZEE) of Lázaro Cárdenas - La Unión, which is located on the border between Michoacán and Guerrero, has an extension of 8,483 hectares. The port of Lázaro Cárdenas, is also the most important in Mexico, which has rail, road and airport accesses, in addition to a productive vocation in iron and steel, metalworking, automotive and agroindustrial.
