The work represents a renewed starting point for reflection and promotion of Sino-Mexican relations, which must be extended to the fields of the humanities and social sciences. The book has like immediate precedent the "I International Colloquium of Chinese and Mexican Studies: a permanent cultural dialogue", organized by UNAM and the University of Foreign Studies of Beijing in October 2014, in Mexico.

The text is divided into two main parts made up of experts from various disciplines, of both Mexican and Chinese nationalities, and even from third countries. The first section corresponds to sinology and the field of the humanities and arts in both cultures, while the second addresses issues of the social sciences. The first part is titled ''Sinology and Humanities in China and Mexico.

Historical review and perspectives''. Address issues of sinology and a set of humanistic subjects such as literature, literary translation, linguistic diversity in both nations, teaching of the Chinese and Spanish languages, philosophy, religion, and art. Meanwhile, the second, titled “Chinese society and Mexican society. Historical review and perspectives”, take various subjects of social disciplines such as diplomatic and economic relations between Mexico and China, various topics of sociology, history and comparative legal systems, and incorporates an interesting section about traditional medicine in both countries.

This publication achieves to combine historical and contemporary elements of China and Mexico, which are analyzed from new perspectives to present them to both societies, with the ultimate aim of benefiting their development by updating issues of common interest, which are the basis for build a permanent cultural dialogue. The convening universities thus seek to promote their internationalization process, both for present and future generations.
