Mexican Chinese gathering place?

At present, there are more than 30,000 Chinese in Mexico, of which 654.38+00,000 live in Mexico City, and 20,000 live in border states such as Baja California and Sonona, which are close to the United States. Among them, in Tijuana, Baja California, some China businessmen and owners, who live in San Diego County, USA, go to Mexico to work during the day and return to the United States to rest at night, which is a miracle.

In the early years, most Chinese came from Guangdong, but now most of them come from Guangdong. Over the past 20 years, they have a wide origin and are no longer a corner of Guangdong. They have a variety of backgrounds and accents, forming two categories: old overseas Chinese who are mainly Cantonese and new overseas Chinese who are mainly Mandarin. Of course, this division is not absolute. New overseas Chinese also have Cantonese, and old overseas Chinese also have mainlanders.

The Chinese community in Tijuana, a Mexican border city, was formed more than 100 years ago. After several ups and downs, it finally embarked on the smooth road of normal development. Today, the number of Chinese in this city exceeds 1 10,000, making it the largest Chinese settlement in Mexico.

Almost all the local Chinese in Tijuana come from Enping, Taishan, Kaiping, Zhongshan and other places in Guangdong Province, and the intertwined blood relationship still plays an important role. Cantonese is the most popular communication language.

Secondly, more than 90% of Chinese are engaged in the catering industry. There are about 250 restaurants in Tijuana, of which at least 1 10 is owned by China people. Some of these restaurants are small in scale and retain the pattern of husband and wife shops; Others have developed to accommodate seven or eight hundred people, with luxurious decoration and full style, with "Asian City" and "Julong City" as typical representatives.

Historically, the Mexican government once imposed strict restrictions on the migration of relatives of China people living in Mexico until the 1990s.
