Mexican authorities investigate death of eight Chinese migrants
==========

Mexican authorities are investigating the death of eight Chinese migrants who died when their boat capsized off the coast of the Mexican state of Oaxaca. The incident occurred on Friday, and the only survivor, a man, stated that the boat was steered by a Mexican and that they had departed from Tapachula in Chiapas state on Thursday. Tapachula is a border city with Guatemala and a common departure point for migrants hoping to reach the United States. The other migrants on the boat, seven women and one man from China, all died. The Mexican authorities have not officially identified the victims. The incident is being investigated as part of the increasing number of Chinese migrants attempting to reach the United States due to difficulties in obtaining visas and the economic impact of COVID-19 lockdowns.
