According to a report released by the Brazilian news store Infobae on Sunday, thousands of Chinese workers are using Ecuador as a critical starting point for their immigration to the United States to seek hospital.
Ecuador is one of the two South American nations that does not currently require Chinese passport holders to obtain any kind of access immigration. As a result, Chinese people seeking to say prison in the United States are taking advantage, apparently flying to either Istanbul, Turkey, or Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on their way to Ecuador.

From that, they apparently board a trip to Ecuador, then take a bus to Necocl, where they cross through the hazardous Darién Gap forest path to achieve Panama, and then travel through Central America to the U.S. southern border.
The Chinese nationals reportedly ask for asylum after crossing the U.S. southern border because they fear harassment from the Chinese socialist government under the leadership of dictator Xi Jinping.

The Washington-based Wilson Center think tank’s study, which found that while Chinese nationals have traditionally entered the country through study programs or H1-B job visas, more and more have started applying for asylum at the southern border, according to the Brazilian news outlet’s report.
Infobae reported that China’s economic difficulties, such as low gross domestic product ( GDP ) growth and high youth unemployment rates, are driving the Chinese migration flow
” Upon arrival in the United States, some Chinese workers seek asylum and integrate into established Foreign areas, where they find help and solutions”, Infobae reported. ” Despite the opposing viewpoints in these already-existing areas, the acceptance rate for Chinese nationals ‘ asylum applications is really high.”
According to Infobae, about 50 000 Chinese immigrants entered Ecuador in 2023, of whom a large portion had already left. Those who remained in Ecuador either made the decision to start their own businesses or opted to work with human smugglers to mug them into American country.
In 2022, Infobae published a report detailing how human traffickers, commonly known as” Coyotes”, openly use TikTok to offer” safe travel” services from Ecuador to the United States. The Brazilian Gulf Clan, which has maintained an active appearance in the jungle trail and established gates to command workers for entering the area, controls some of the “VIP” roads through the Darién Gap.

According to Insight Crime, the Gulf Clan reportedly received between$ 1 and$ 25 million in revenue from the price of the items in 2023.

Between January 1 and April 17, more than 125 000 workers crossed the Darién Gap, according to statistics released by Panama’s movement officials in April. In 2023, Panama registered a report- breaking quantity of 520, 000 refugees crossing the forest path. The majority of the refugees who crossed the Darién Gap in 2023 hailed from Venezuela, Ecuador, Haiti, and China.
José Raul Mulino, the president-elect of Panama, has stated on numerous occasions that his administration will break down on the U.S. S- bound workers crossing through the Darién Gap. When Mulino’s management is over, Panama will build checkpoints across the Darién Gap to apprehend and arrest migrants, according to Frank Brego, who previously announced that construction of a walls along the dangerous forest trail has been deemed “impossible.”
