The Intertwined Story of China and Mexico in North America

This Tuesday, May 17, 2021, and throughout the month of May, Mexico honors the broader Mexican and North American Asian community and formally apologizes to the Chinese Mexican community for the tragic events of May 1911, when 303 Chinese were massacred by revolutionary forces in Torreón. To rectify this history and silenced past, the Mexican Cultural Institute proudly joins the Federal Government’s formal apology to the Chinese Mexican community. The date set for the formal apology in Mexico coincides with current events in the United States. May in the United States celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month and North America’s rich, multicultural, and diverse history. May 2021 is particularly important because the Asian Pacific American community has been singled out since the pandemic began. Racism, violence, and sustained attacks against the community have greatly increased. Together we believe, in Mexico and the United States, that it is our shared responsibility to condemn racism and hatred, past and present.
