The dilemma of writing the self of the East in the West

2025-03-12T17:19:18+00:00

In order to examine how the authors of Chinese origin write and portray China and to explore the external and internal reasons for such representation, which is a novel and understudied topic so far, this article analyses and summarises the images of Chinese characters in Siu Kam Wen's El tramo final from the perspective of orientalism and imagology. We find that, as a writer of Chinese origin, he creates some images that, to some extent, are progressive and go beyond the boundaries of the stereotypes of the time, but there are still many stereotypical traces in his work, which, apart from the objective elements, is largely intentional on the part of the author. Eastern writers and the image of the East are still intertwined by many factors.

The terms of sale and purchase of merchandise for imports coming from China are limited by Mexican legislation, related mainly to tax affairs specialized in foreign trade as well as administrative matters specialized in economics, given the fact terms commonly accepted by China for this type of international sales transactions are INCOTERMS, and some INCOTERMS are not compatible with the aforementioned Mexican legislation.

The above problem is presented in a specific group of INCOTERMS, which are those that include freight and/or insurance, since, the general rules and criteria in foreign trade issues the Secretariat of Economy, in the case of automatic filling of import notices for steel products, it is stated that prices should be shown without freight and/or insurance.

This limits steel traders to use INCOTERMS that include freight and/or insurance, as if they did so the customs authority would be in a legal position to seize the goods, which inhibits and limits international trading in those steel products, understood as steel products, all goods which are classified under the tariff headings 72 and 73 of the General Import and Export Taxes Act (examples: bars, tubes, plates, screeds, etc.).
