Although Mexico is slightly more developed than China (GDP per capita of 18,900 in Mexico vs. 15,400 in China), it has a lower ecological footprint because China has focused its development in heavy industries like cement and steel, while Mexico has transitioned directly to a services-oriented economy, where the most important "industries" include tourism and retail. This has resulted in an ecological footprint of 2.89 hectares (7.14 acres) in Mexico vs. 3.38 hectares (8.35 acres) for China.
