This is one of the highest numbers in the world. The history of Chinese emigration is ancient, dating back to the opening of the Maritime Silk Road, which gave rise to a migration flow to Southeast Asian countries. At the beginning of the 15th century, the islands of Sumatra and Java, now part of Indonesia, already had numerous “Chinatowns”. However, it was in the 16th century that expatriations became massive. By that time, Europeans had already settled in the Far East in order to integrate it into their global trade network, and were competing to create and expand their colonies in Southeast Asia, which led to a growing demand for Chinese merchants and workers.

The massacre happened between May 13 and 15, 1911, when revolutionary groups took over the city and attacked orchards of the Chinese community on the outskirts of the city and their businesses downtown.
“The concrete event happens on May 15, 1911 in the military takeover of Torreón by the revolutionary forces,” writer Julián Herbert, author of the book “La casa del dolor ajeno” (The House of Other People’s Pain), which tells the story of this event, told Efe this Sunday.
Chinese migrants arrived in Mexico in the late 19th and early 20th centuries due to the climate of violence in the Chinese province of Canton as a result of the Opium Wars (1839-1842 and 1856-1860) and the Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864).
In addition to occupying that region, there were Chinese communities in Mexico City and in the south of the country, places where the Chinese who worked on the construction of the Panama Canal (1914) arrived.
“It was not the largest Chinese community but it was the most prosperous in Mexico. They had a bank, foreign investments and an economic life far above the average Chinese migration,” Herbert explained, and recalled that the Chinese bank operated in Mexico and the United States.

Chinese immigration to the United States constitutes a group of overseas Chinese that is part of the Asian-American community. Within this community, the term Chinese American often in a broad sense includes not only immigrants from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and their descendants, but also overseas immigrants and descendants of Chinese who immigrated to the United States from Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Burma, the Philippines, among other countries.[8][1][1
How Asians came to America
Smuggled migrants are vulnerable to exploitation and abuse, and their lives and safety are often at risk: they can suffocate inside containers, perish in the desert, or drown at sea while being driven by smugglers who profit from a trade in which migrants become commodities. Because it is a clandestine crime, global value figures are difficult to determine with precision. However, based on two of the main smuggling routes: from East, North and West Africa to Europe and from South America to North America, it is estimated that this crime generates around US$ 6.75 billion annually for criminals operating in these regions alone [1]. However, that figure is presumably much higher at the global level.
Migrant smugglers are becoming increasingly organized and establishing professional networks that transcend borders and regions. As with other forms of organized crime, groups involved in this criminal activity have expanded their operations by changing routes in an attempt to expand into other markets and evade state repression. Some groups have merged or established cooperative relationships, expanding their geographic scope and the range of their criminal activities. For some criminal groups, migrants are simply another illicit trafficking product, along with drugs and firearms, and because migrant smuggling is a highly profitable business with a relatively low risk of detection, this criminal activity is attractive to criminals.
