From China to California: What's next for Chinese migrants?
We catch up with some of the people we heard from in 2023 who were trying to cross the Mexican border. They now live in California, so how are they settling in?
In 2023, Business Daily met Chinese people trying to get into the US using an unexpected route – the established migrant trail through South and Central America.
We’ve re-connected with some of those migrants who have made it across the border and are now living in California.
Have they managed to find work and accommodation? And what are their plans for the future given US President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration?
Presented and produced by Shawn Yuan
Additional production by David Cann and Helen Thomas
