- Chinese success may have led to resentment in the past, but today children of Chinese immigrants embrace both their family history and the life they've forged in Mexico. CCTV's Franc Contreras reports how Chinese culture is flourishing in Mexico.
I was in Mexico City on a business trip earlier this year...the taxi driver, after he learned that I am Chinese, turned his car radio to a Chinese station, which played both Mandarin and Cantonese pop songs....Being a Chinese who has lived in the US for more than half of my entire life, I felt both moved and proud..For reasons I could not explain, I found my eyes were turning wet...
Live as an asian out of the US and you'll see how better we're treated there. No stupid stereotypes but real heritage and reputation.
I love Mexico and i like made in Mexico Oreo biscuits.
Gee San No, stay in China. You’ll ruin Mexico
I worked with Mexicans as fruit pickers here in California, USA in the 1950's. They were a friendly and cheerful people. At night the agents from the Immigration and Naturalization Service would come to take them away. In the morning, my boss had to find a new bunch of Mexicans. The same heart-breaking events have persisted to this day.
México might of had a racially separation at one point in history but i'm sure didn't last long. Back in the time of slavery in the US and big part of the world, México was slavery free and it actually helped many African slaves that fled the US. Nowdays México is very welcoming of any inmigrants including Americans that hate mexicans so much. Mexico's biggest inmigrant population is from the US as of matter of fact.
México is a welcoming warm hearted country that is just looking for economic progress so it's people can stay and work in their comunities and don't have to emmigrate to countries where even though are a huge work forcé like they're in the US still are Not welcomed and get bad treatment from it's citizens and goverment.
I wish the Mexican government would agkwoledge the Asian ancestry more. I am Mexican American with a Asian background and proud of it :)
eehh they can, many of us are still piss that they dont export mangas or anime no more.
Much respect for you and your background!
if you was born in Mexico, you'll be called Mexican, don't expect any type of segregation by getting called Mexican Chinese American.... Mexican government neither people stops you from feeling proud of your ancestors
si, ser orgullos por su etnia mexicano y chino para siempre
What
I'm asian but I love mexico, mexican people and mexican culture. Very nice people.
NorCalBrah916 Why don't the Chinese ever tend to assimilate to the "host" country they
enter as immigrants? But if a Mexican (or a group of Mexicans) or any
other nationality were to establish their own communities (with their
own traditions and beliefs) somewhere in China, odds are that
surrounding Chinese communities would not like it and would possibly
even stop them. Sounds like a double-standard on the part of the Chinese
to me...
If you like to retain Chinese culture so much, why didn't you stay over
there then?
Asians integrate well, in America they get American names like John or Bob, speak English and help out the community. In Mexico they will have Mexican sounding names, speak Spanish and will be Mexican influenced. If a Mexican or any other ethnic were to go to Asia and open up their own restaurant or community or whatever they would have no problem with it as long as you speak the language and are friendly. In Thailand and Japan there are many diff type of non Asian ethnics that have moved there with no issue.
Alexander p I hope your right.
+Alexander p Mexican sounding names? Really dude?
+Francisco Gallardo yeah, google juan chiu trujillo
The Chinese built the railroads. The biggest Chinese community is China Town in San Francisco, Mexifornia.
Thanks
When I was in Mexico City last year I went to China Town. It was just like any China Town anywhere. The food was great and a little different because it was a combo of Chinese and Mexican.
im from england and i went to both china and mexico. today china is super, rich & clean. however, mexico is still a 3rd world country... super dirty & piss poor. much love for both countries none the less.... from manchester, england.
???????
Chinese and Mexican are my favorite foods
Yes. Asians are Mexican . Beringia land bridge 20000 years ago. Asians we Forest settlers to Americas! 👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼
Me too!!!!❤✌
Well that's because their is delicious flavor or delicious spicy flavor.mmmm👍🏼🤗😇
Canibal!
I find this very awesome make me so proud to be mexican.
+Kristal Colector and you should be proud because Mexicans are good people who work very hard like Chinese and which both are exploited by westerners.
+Kristal Colector and you should be proud because Mexicans are good people who work very hard like Chinese and which both are exploited by westerners.
I maybe half Mexican but I agree with you be proud of being who you are.
Gotta acknowledge the fact we displaced 16,000 Chinese from their homes to Arizona tho
Shit they speak better spanish than me
lol
real talk
+Mr.renegade Because they're third generation chinese... They were raised there.
I'm Mexican and they really surpass my Spanish, time to rethink my life.
Hendex Nemesis get out
You can find in any American City, Mexican restaurants and Chinese massage parlors. Chinese restaurants or Mexican grocery stores. We are different cultures coexisting.
yeah but that's no news... and this video isn't about America....it's about Mexico and the Chinese population and culture that reside there.
EkBalam707 The topic of illegal Chinese immigrants is barely targeted by the liberal main stream media that portrays all undocumented immigrants as Mexicans. American politics are weird.
Angie Guillen ¿ que te duele ?
EkBalam707 okay? idk where you were going with that but thanks for the lecture
Mexico needs more Asian parlors, Asian food markets and Asian restaurants.
***** Why don't the Chinese ever tend to assimilate to the "host" country they

other nationality were to establish their own communities (with their

surrounding Chinese communities would not like it and would possibly
even stop them. Sounds like a double-standard on the part of the Chinese
to me... We as Mexicans have our own culture to identify with too you know....
***** it would look like California if that happens. LOL
China needs more diversity
China needs American towns like in San Francisco tha China town
+BalaCosmica _ dude...hear ya but we are not them. and even they know that. So assimilation takes years and decade. if our culture die is because we didn't refresh it or care to keep it alive..but then again what is culture
You Chinese will always be welcomed in mexico
But not every Mexican will feel welcoming to them.
roberto torres pero si perro puedes comer hasta en los tacos baratos
some mexico still hate on english language
@Big Mouth cry more
Big Mouth damn dude you are the epitome of virgin
Holy shit I can not believe a Chinese family sounds exactly like a Mexican family.
Well they technically are legit Mexicans, remember Mexicans isn't a race, it's a nationality, but these people have always lived in Mexico and their families for generations, it's even possible that you have some Chinese in you, after all Chinese people have been going to Mexico since before the sung dynasty
Yukio Sakakibara it's just that the Way they look and their accent looks weird it's the same when you find a black french who speak fluent unaccented french
Well they are Mexican, they are citizens of Mexico.
luise cobian you must not go out much....there's a whole world out there
Tony Minutti yes I know their is you know what else is weird Russian speaking Mexicans.I live in a area where their seems to be some quantity of Russians so I learned to speak Russian.so know Russian or like wait what since I don't look remotely Russian and can hold a conversation in russian
Yo soy Mexicano y estoy viviendo en China. Hermosa cultura de aqui (China).
China and Mexico are best friends hehe viva China y Mexico
Since Spanish colonial times with the 'Nao de la China'.
I'm from the North of Mexico and I like Chinese Culture. I study their philosophy, their religion, their martial arts, and their history. I've been to Shanghai and Hong Kong and they are very nice cities. Shanghai is a city of very friendly people. I like China.

+ BalaCosmica - Even if Chinese don't like Mexicans in their country either? I will be angry too. That's because I hate racism.
I love Chinese people Mexican and Chinese should stick together
I am an American Mexican and I don’t hate Asians. Most of my friends are Asian and we get along just fine.
Most Chinese restaurants here in the US hired Mexicans
@待化的冰 I've never met a Mexican that hated Chinese people.
Born in mexico you are mexican not chinese mexican
待化的冰 Oh Excuse me? No race is more superior than another race. People just need to increase their maturity levels and stop fighting because of race😒
I have met many Mexicans who appear Chinese and I would ask them about it, some would say "we have Chinese people in Mexico.
The biggest Chinese population in Mexico is Mexicali, mx.
Michael Rodriguez I grew up there before going to in USA and you're correct many Chinese people there and there really nice.
It was horrible what happened to the chinese in the 30s, all the chinese people i met are really nice and they integrate really quickly and fast. They are model immigrants here in Mexico.
no tienes algo mejor que hacer como ir a votar por el peje o ir a una marcha comunista?
el5letras1
The United States did the same with blacks. KKK hanging blacks and racism everywhere in 30s America.
it's pretty interesting, at least for me, to see Chinese and Asians in general thriving in other unlikely parts of the world. Like Japanese in Brazil. Not saying they can't - it's just somehow fascinating to see them in a completely different place, becoming natives, making a home and doing well.
We have Chinese immigrants in my hometown of Jalisco and they are welcomed and liked. That's what I admire about where I am from my home state has open arms for immigrants. I can't speak for all Mexico since I've only been to Jalisco, Michoacan, and Mexico City but there's a big amount of older Canadians and White Americans that have moved to Guadalajara, Jalisco (Central Mexico) and they are treated like anyone else.
I feel like Mexican Americans probably get more shit. Mexicans think we are just stuck up show offs.
I went to a kindergarten at a school that only, ONLY had mexicans and chinese kids. Every Chinese New Year we would celebrate by lining the halls with lanterns we constructed, by having preformers in our cafeteria do the Dragon/Lion dance with the actual lion costume, and we would relax to music played on the guqin and bamboo flute. We would have so much fun, and I had many friends who were chinese. I picked up on some words in their language as they did to mine (My first language is spanish). All I have to say was that those days were the best days of my life.
2:12 Those Chinese- Mexican girls speaking Spanish is soooo fucking hot.
Yes bro!!!
thats very sad about the racism toward them, particularly in the past. its almost the same as in USA constantly blaming and attacking immigrants or basically anyone other than themselves for inevitable dips in the economy
I feel like mexico is always a hypocrite? for example with Central Americans, they don’t want them in Mexico yet they don’t like it when the u.s does it to its ppl.
@@Xitl4ly mexico doesn't really like immigrants using them as a bridge to cross to the US which is their goal, but also mexico is forced by the US to stop migration from people crossing to the US, a lot of Mexicans don't cross to the US anymore it's not worth it
Ben D I know but how else are they going to get there? They should at least treat them decently.
@@Xitl4ly Mexican people treat them well it's the cartel assholes that exploit them and try to make money off them it's sad, theirs Haitians making it to the US that get stuck in mexico and start working instead of complaining
Ben D it’s literally both the cartels and the people. México is filled with so much xenophobia
So does this mean it's possible for a lot Mexicans to have Asian ancestors at some point? Is this why a lot of them do in fact looked Asian mixed?
yes
no most mexicans have native american blood . and native features are similar to asian fetures but diffrent
+del mustang They're actually called Amerindians :). Amerindians are descendants of East Asians. Technically they're the same thing, except one subrace is more evolved than the other.
+Tony Dinh They're descended of East Asians, specifically. They came to North America when Russia was still attached to Alaska. During the Ice Age times, if I recall correctly.
Yukio Sakakibara your not Hispanic huh...
great video I did not know this
Teach her Chinese and Spanish. Two languages of the future business world.
So glad that the Chinese that live in mexico have found there happyness.....Mexico has many differnt nationality that are comeing from other countries.... God Bless you all God Bless Mexico......
Man watching this is moving to me since my father spent 7.5 yrs in Central America with his Chinese friends opening up Chinese restaurants for the people who love the food.
Chinese in mexico , are the best
my daughter has chinese eyes and my husband family too now I see one of there ancestors must be chinese just like one of my ancestors must be from Spain or france we are a mix
almost everyone there is
Imperialism in Latin America created a whole new race lol
The largest group of Latinos are those who are a mix of indigenous peoples (from Asia when there was a land bridge during the Wisconsin glaciation... so Asian) and European (during the discovery of the New World).
Nicolasa montes
Yeah sure
Wow this is so interesting! I've never heard of Chinese migrating to Mexico, but as a Chinese history major I feel that this is something I should look into. Good thing I can read and write Chinese and Spanish :D
I have an aunt and a cousin who have Asian ancestry. This makes me happy to have people of all types going to Mexico. My grandmother still lives there and the last time we visited we went to town and there were a lot of Asian themed restaurants and stores and I was really surprised.
I am Chinese and my fiancé is Mexican, we met in Europe and it didn't take a long time for us to realize that we are soulmates. Maybe there are some similarities between the Chinese and Mexican cultures... but anyways wish these people all the best ❤️
Mexicans are indegenous people that came from China and other asian groups. professor Jan Li Po explains that in great detail. Mexicans are part of the asian family.
The Chinese and Spaniards were known to have intermarriages in the Philippines. They're known as Sangleys. 330 years of Spanish rule probably took some Chinese to Mexico during the Manila to Acapulco trade. Chinese had been residing in the Philippines in the 17th century. That's the only way they had contacts with the Mexicans. Some Mexicans were also made their way to the Philippines via the trade govern by Spain. Chinese had been part of the Philippine culture. So as Japanese. The point of trade between Mexico ( Nueva Espana) and Philippines is the only possible route of Chinese into Mexico. The Malays, Chinese, Indonesians, Japanese, Spaniards, Mexicans, Hindus from India , Polynesians, and Arabs were at one point present in the Philippines. Tagalog our main language have loan words from everyone. Such a rich history.
I'm Chinese and watching a Chinese whom speaks perfect spanish trips me out lol
There is a misconception about 'White America' because each state is different. States like Mississippi, Louisiana or Florida have more blacks and browns than whites. In fact. the majority of people in places like miami in southern florida, are black and brown, most of them immigrants from central america, cuba, haiti or southamerica, and they barely speak English. Only the retired elders from Canada speak English and are white. So not all states in the states are white or have a white majority. Asians are mostly in the west coast, California, Hawaii or Washington state which are pretty much diverse states unlike the states in the east side that look more brown and black.
Archie Richard Part of the problem are the U.S gov classifications because they consider "white" to be a label to classify people opposed to other labels or groups, such as African-Americans" which is a label for blacks. I don't see people labeling themselves as "European-Americans". Or the label "Hispanic" which embraces Latino cultures and Spanish Speaking people of all colors and flavors. I don't see people labeling themselves as "Anglos". The Caucasus in central asia, is technically, part of Asia, but I don't see the government classifying them as "Asians". LOL So, if we have " white " as a label or group, then we should have similar labels like Brown, black, yellow, red, tan, pink, etc... I think the U.S gov has an obsession to portray itself as a white country and create minorities and majorities according to political interests. This trauma of trying to be white also affects Hispanic people and comes from colonial times when Indians were fighting cowboys and the pale brits started labeling people according to color of skin. In my opinion, the Untied States is a mestizo country which means everybody is and has been mixed for generations. The classifications made by the census and other gov branches need comprehensive reforms , as well.
Archie Richard Go back to Ireland red hair gringo
Who cares! The topic is about Chinese in Mexico.
Archie Richard Brown Pride. !!!
Brock Lesnar can tell you about it. L O L
Alfa7beta0
Very berry TRUE! Brock Lesnar was destroyed by Brown Pride power.. lol
I'm 1/3 Korean 1/3 American 1/3 Mexican because Koreans immigrated to Oaxaca Mexico in 1900s ..my parents were born in Oaxaca
why 1/3？are you serious?
Google the Chinese Mexican singer Ana Gabriel. She's a legend in Spanish music and I learned of her while living in Miami. The Dominicans and Cubans love her. There are also Chinese Cubans, Chinese Peruvians and Chinese Brazilians. The more you know.....
I had a favorite Chinese restaurant in Ensenada, B.C., Mexico Often, when I would go in, the owner's pre-school son was reading a newspaper in one of the booths! Reason enough to be proud of their culture(s).
Duang video! Chinese in Jamaica too.
Well I'm Mexican and proud of it but I know I have Chinese blood in my lineage not too far actually. My mothers side is Mestizo (Yaqui, Spanish) with some Lebanese blood. My fathers side is Mestizo (Yaqui, Spanish) with some Chinese blood. Sooo I do have dark under eye patches, Spanish nose, freckles and pale/white skin with jet black hair and small light brown eyes. Both my parents are light skinned as well. We are Sonoran Mexican. No we're not Amerindian, No we're not Spanish. We are simply Mexican and proud. There should be no shame in being Mexican. Whether you look Asian, White etc. But you're Mexican...you should always be proud of your heritage. Don't give me the "Mexican is not a race, it's a nationality" BULLCRAP! I'm not buying it.
I love learning about diverse populations around the world.
Me being from Mexico moved to the US when I was 8. I am so intrigued by other cultures, I love to learn about them. By that being said I welcome all people from all over the world to live in Mexico. One day I will go back
Wow! Que interesante!
How fortunate is that little girl to grow up speaking both Mandarin and Spanish!
Love seeing how Mexico is so diverse just like many other countries :)
Im so happy china loves mexico!!!!!
Chinese are not prejudice just like Mexicans !!!👍🏼💝🙏🏼
im Mexican American from puebla/nayarit parents, and this makes happy.
I think this is really cool
Wow! Sophia has got the best of both worlds. Imagine how rich and diverse this young lady’s gonna become.
I've only come to realized that the trenches were dug by the Chinese during WW1, but there were never any mentioning of that until an old box containing photographic evidence was discovered recently! Also, the most difficult/harshest stretches of the earliest American railways were also built by Chinese workers. The Chinese had contributed so much in the past but they got deliberately forgotten into the mist of time!
Chinese people in general can take in a lot of hardship. Especially past generations ones
I love the Chinese people we have a lot of them in Mexicali viva china in Mexico and all of residents that they came from others countries like Africa Canada, Italia span Arabia and all the people that they live in México like me sorry for my English I tried to learn this language for our gringos that they live here in mexico bye
¡Que hermoso !
Funny how my friend sent this to me. I'm Mexican American and I love Asian women and culture but I was always open to different cultures. Still love Mexican culture too
Woooow!! Very interesting to know. I never heard about this. God bless you Chinese of Mexico.
Mexico has treated its Chinese people terribly in the past. I've seen heavy Anti-Chinese sentiment even in present day America (U.S.) and now it's even worse with CO-VID and all that. I'm Xicano but my early roots are mainly in the African peoples (Afro-Mexican) and Asian peoples that came to the Americas. Amongst my Asian roots, I have Chinese blood. I hope that the Chinese culture stays strong and alive in Mexico. We always need to remember where we came from and treat each other humanely regardless of race or ethnicity.
When I was a child, we lived upstairs above a Chinese restaurant. I learned to write my name in Chinese but we moved and I never learned anymore.
Well there al maaaaany Chinese people living and working in Mexico
It’s been like that for years we really are friends
Im mexican and Id love to see more people form chine here. They are epic!
Very interesting.I love the Chinese People.
It was interesting to visit Mexico City's Chinatown which actually had very few ethnic Chinese working in its shops or restaurants
China-Mexico For the Win!!
In northern Mexico there are many people from china as well. I like their culture.
You should check out the Chinese-Cubans documentary
Is no secret that Mexicans love and respect Asian people.
We welcome anyone!
I'm from Mexicali BC, México and you'll see a lot a Chinese culture in fact some of my aunt's married Mexican Chinese. Another really interesting fact is that, if you have want to eat the best Chinese without going to China is in Mexicali BC, México. I'm not saying this because I'm from there, but it's a fact.
I love chinese food, it is delicious....
norangy . I prefer Mexican food.
y, no se , pero creo que no conoces la verdadera comida mexicana, la que yo preparo es riquisisisima.
They speak better Spanish than my Kids 😜
wow
Chinese people will always be welcomed in Mexico, we love you 💕
I like Ignacio Chiu's view... (parph.) "I'm like any other Mexican, i just have different roots".
The problem with people today is that they feel the need to belomg to a sub-group.... "im chinese-american", or "i'm african-american", or "i'm mexican-american".
The Worlds Oldest Chinatown is located in the PHILIPPINES established since 1594 at Binondo District Manila....🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Mexico and Philippines have a connection during the Manila - Acapulco Galleon Trade
nice
I read somewhere that the indigenous Mexicans & the Chinese share a common ancestry, dating back to a time before the continents split. Indeed the similar facial features and body bone structure is compelling. I'm surprise this short documentary doesn't mention this.
Man that's crazy, before today I didn't even know there were Chinese immigrants in Mexico. Wow pretty amazed by the fact that Mexico itself is more diverse that i originally thought. cool !
La chinesca, Mexicali Baja California. I studied the history of Mexican/Asians in my hometown. I thought it was really interesting.
Best wishes to my Mexican brothers.
Gracias hermano 🇲🇽🤝🇨🇳
I like that thiey learn thier language and keep thier roots its important that you know where you come from and Asians are always welcomed in mexico and those that say thiers no black people go to guererro mexico thats all thier is.

why is spanish the second language in the USA? because most Hispanics want to speak Spanish and Hispanics hve their ghettos like spanish harlem, east Los Angeles, el paso, etc.
in the USA, most Hispanic businesses hires Hispanics only. chinese businesses like restaurants and markets hires Hispanic workers even in Chinatowns!
because the asian owners train them!
it's a fact that asians hires Hispanics out of fairness and kindness.
I'm vietnamito et me gusta mucho Mexico , Mexico es un gran pais
I don't have to travel all the way to China then, I just go back to Mexico and get me a chinita.
I love Chinese people
thank you
We should not forget our ancestor root. Very good indeed
Self reliance discipline family love and personal responsibility Chinese communities will prosper thru times thick and thin.eventual winners in life.
I hear there is a a large and established population of Chinese in Mexicali and in surrounding areas near baja california.
I am impressed.
is this why my mum call me China all the time
All of comments, Yours are the only with a sense of reason. My dad told me the chinese who migrated to mexico were mostly men, So when they married, they married only to mexican women. This way most of their chinese customs were lost.
This is Interesting They even have Chinese Living in Puerto Rico as well.
When USA had the Chinese Exclusion Act, many Chinese people went into Mexico, got a tan, and walked back up to USA saying 'hola' and were accepted.
I am a Mexican American, and I live in the United States, but I love seeing all the nationalities in the world living and choosing Mexico as their home. To me, I consider them mexican, just like the 100 million plus other mexicans living here. I like seeing my country of birth become increasingly diverse.
I am Mexican and I love all races that came to Mexico The German menonitas and the Chinese many nations.
There’s a community of American Chinese-Mex mixed people in NY and Jersey 👍🏿
Mexicans and Chinese are the hardest workers.
A fundamental question for every Chinese since they were born: “where should I escape to?”
Odd Combo but its working
I feel like mexico feels the hurt of immigrants and we r family oriented. We protect our friends and family. As a mexican I felt racism from other Mexicans about skin color. I seen my family stand up for me. I stood up for my friends. I seen my mom do the same. My grandmother was proud of me. Friend and family is the same to us.we r warriors and honor bound to look for one another. When we accept u, we have ur back. It doesnt matter if ur friend or family is blk, white or asian. Leave my family alone.
In North America, Asians are classified as immigrants where as Europeans are classified as settlers. Is it the right way of classification?
I am Mexican with Japanese and Chinese ancestors.
Such an interesting diaspora
