Ecuador announced on June 18 the suspension of visa-free agreement with China starting July 1 due to the increase in illegal immigration from China. Chinese nationals have been using Ecuador as a popular starting point to embark on a perilous journey known as 'going line' through Central and South America to reach the US-Mexico border for asylum. The route has gained attention, with social media platforms such as Twitter and YouTube showcasing the journey and offering consulting services. Concerns have risen as Ecuador reports a significant difference between Chinese nationals entering and leaving the country, and the US has seen a significant increase in apprehensions of Chinese citizens at the southwest border.
