Meanwhile, CNA correspondent Wei Du arrives in Ecuador, where the Chinese migrants start their long trek to America. She speaks to a group about why they chose to leave China, and travels with them from Ecuador to Colombia to get a first-hand experience of the migrant trail.

You know why there are some chinese people struggling so hard to made their way to the US? Because there are so many chinese people doing immigration agencies in the US. They are using the social medias to propaganda how easy to get a job in the US and how well paid salary of the job in US. But honestly, In fact, the majority of undocumented immigrants in the United States face significant challenges in terms of living standards, economic opportunities, and access to social services due to their lack of legal status.

So sad to see how people feel that the “grass is greener on the other side!”
Life is a struggle no matter where you are!
This is true. A lot of places in the US hire migrants…but then pay the migrants below minimum wage. On paper, the migrants aren’t technically employees, so the employers can pay them pennies and don’t have to report anything for tax and legal purposes. This is very common in the construction industry. For many employers, migrants are a source of nearly-free labor, and it’s a part of the immigration crisis that nobody seems to be talking about-how the people who hire these migrants are complicit in the influx across the border. If there weren’t so many work opportunities, then nobody would come here.
很開心，他們離開中國，我笑的睡不著
Agree,,
If US citizens tried to enter China illegally, the reception would be very different. China has real borders.
中国有足够的人口，他不是移民国家，他不需要更多的劳动力 而美国已经从实体走向金融，他需要更多的劳动力来帮助他完成实体回流。美国本土的制造也非常昂贵，由于非法进来的人相当于免费的劳动力 战争一旦爆发，想要成为美国公民，进入美国军队，为美国打仗活下来之后就可以成为正式的美国公民。美国也分两派吧，一部分欢迎非法人，一部分不欢迎，就像特朗普

Yeah right! we don't dream of going near China let alone be a migrant of such a dirt bag country..
Our borders shouldn't be open at all
This is definitely an award-winning documentary from CNA! Thank you so much!
Man I'm 28 mins in and my jaw is just dropped by this dad whos taking his family through some of the most treacherous jungle on planet earth, and he just does not seem to understand the difficulty that lies ahead of him. They're buying chocolate. No canned food, no stove, but chocolate. They seem like absolutely wonderful people, very happy family, but I can already tell its gonna be one hell of a hard journey for them. I wish these people the best.
I think they mean chocolate coated energy bars
They will not walk through the jungle 😂
The family seems happy and came fr large city but honestly most Chinese don't have the necessary wilderness survival skills. It's quite sad that this kind of family had to illegally immigrate. I don't know what they met with in China and indeed common Chinese have a worse and worse life during this years. Just hope this family could get through of the jungle safely.
你应该感谢他们，这样你才能在中餐馆用上干净的碗筷
The Darian gap isn't as hard as people think. Millions of migrants have crossed there. It's basically just a hiking trail at this point
Thank you CNA, Wei Du and the team ⭐️ Respect
Why don't CNA do one about the anti-Israeli student protests in the US? That's far more exciting.
@@ssss8162 脑残傻帽，滚回你主子的监狱里呆着去
CNA reports on Asia mainly. Why should it start reporting and interviewing about US? Singapore is in Asia.
@@zill8021 that’s a narrow minded statement. CNA is about reporting Asia’s perspective on world news. It’s about global, not just Asia.
@@zill8021lmao this isn't Asian news. This is literally inside America, and anti Chinese propaganda at that
The best CNA documentary to date. Excellent production. Breathtaking storytelling. Remarkable video journalism. My highest praise to Dui Wei and her team.
Truly jaw dropping and amongst the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen other coverage of this dangerous route but this version stood out for the human aspect. The connection between reporter and subject. That’s what matters most.
Documentary of the year! Incredible work by Wei Du & everyone involved to put all these together. Really cannot wait for the other parts!
I have watched the 3 parts in one shot. Wei Du and the team did a great job..Salute and respect👍👍👍
It's just American propaganda. CNA has proven itself biased to the West, making large a small number of people fleeing their own debts
this is One of the most obvious pro-American sinophobic documentaries of this decade. Illegal Migrants arrive in the USA from India, Taiwan, indeed from all over the world.
The specific focus on Chinese crossing the border, particularly when safer ways of illegally"overstaying"the visa, has been a talking point only fringe USA right-wing outlets talk about
Wei Du was smart to skip the dangerous path of the line.
Président Trump is going to get rid of all you illegals!
Great job, Wei Du and team! Exceptional storytelling and taking risks to feature this! I loved the human side of individual stories.
Im a follower of CNA programs and this is one of the best programs by CNA. 👍
Well done Wei Du, you are a brave soul to cover this story. We should broadcast this all over China and let people know that grass is not greener on the other side
Yes please tell them to stay in China. The USA doesn’t want them
Unfortunately, the Chinese government would not allow this video to be shown in China at all.
@@kaichung777 that’s true officially can’t because that would be construed as citizens are not happy or worse others will take this as a way to escape and follow that route.
They will have a taste of end stage capitalism 😂😂😂
Your hometown is a hell hole. America compared to your hometown is practically paradise.
I’ve always liked CNA’s coverage of sensitive topics. Kudos to the team. My heart goes out to people who walk the line for a perceived better future.
Can't wait for parts 2 and 3, please keep up the great work CNA.
fyi parts 2 and 3 are out already and can be found linked in the description
Thanks Wei Du, and the whole team for covering this. Never thought there are so many people that are willing to go through all these difficulties to reach their American dream. Whatever reasons they have for leaving their own country, I wish them all the very best. May God make their future path easier. God bless them and God bless America too. All the best CNA.
There are millions of dollars being scammed dayly but these people are gambling with their lives and the lives of their young children!
I feel so sad.
My kudos to Wei Du for making such a compelling documentary… great work….
Fantastic documentary. Thank you! Awaiting Parts 2 & 3. Safety, patience and peace to all 🕊️🇨🇳 🇪🇨 🇨🇴 🇵🇦 🇲🇽 🇺🇸🕊️
Hi there! Part 2 and Part 3 have also been posted on this channel. You can find the links in video description.
I’ve watched all 3 parts. Thank you, CNA & Wei Du, for this enlightening and extremely sad documentary. What an excellent report! I’m looking forward to your follow-up report.
Literally anti china propaganda at this point
There are always people trying to get into the USA from everywhere.
They have an unrealistically idealistic view of the country due to the propaganda they see like this
Amazed by this high quality documentary, Wei Du and the team and CNA, well done!
Thank you! CNA and Du Wei and her teams! This is the best documentary I have ever watched from CNA! I have been watching it again and again!
This is very well made and informative. Thank you for the knowledge. I will make sure to spread it.
This is going to be the documentary of the year. I have not seen any documentary that is so captivating and tugs at my heart strings.
I’m an American military combat Veteran. I have a suggestion: Consider a documentary about American military Veterans who leave the US for Mexico and Thailand--the most popular countries for Veterans to seek a better life.
United States does
You have a better life in thailand because you now have pension from US as a veteran right? If you dont have pension from US would still be beautiful to live in thailand or mexico?
@@eg8343 No pension. I served less than 20 years. I achieved financial freedom thru collecting dividends, premiums, and rental income.
@@mosqutio88that because it’s easier and cheaper to get p…. In Thailand and Mexico . Hope you don’t catch syphilis
Let me guess what 'better life' means for you - no need to work, mileage for your dollar, cheap booze and sex. I bet you and other vets and expats wouldn't dare give up your American citizenship
Our CNA correspondent Wei Du is incredible to do this trip for the programme. I saw TH-camr 'bald and bankrupt' 6 months ago going thru the Darien Gap. It crazy dangerous. I wish all the those who enter USA by the southern border make it and have a better life.
Of course they'll have better lives in US than in China or SG, as what my relatives have been over there more than 3 decades ago n now enjoying their retirements with pensions' benefits from the US Govt.
Why dont CNA report about the anti-Israeli student protests in the US? That's far more exciting.
@@leechengho2821No wonder USA is going downhill. So many videos about current US conditions on TH-cam. Alot of Chinese are leaving US and migrating to Malaysia.
You could be right. It is easier for them to escape to a few dozen countries but chose America because it is easier to escape from debtors, the law, etc and then end up having social security and pension. America is the obvious choice!
@@johnchow
I do certainly n fully agree with you as US is more sympathetic n generous towards d immigrants whether they legal or not, unlike most Asian countries, which incl. SG unless you've deep pockets or highly educated n talented too.
👏the most thrilling reality “show” (also it’s a heartbreaking story) that make me think hard about life. Thanks to WeiDu & team 🥇+ CNA
Congratulations CNA for the quality, themes and dedication to documentaries. Brilliant.
I’m rewatching Part 1 after finishing the entire series.
I can see the difference in ‘Dad’ from part 1 compared to part 3. You can see ‘dad’ was less spirited after the whole ordeal. His demeanour changed from part 1 to part 2 then part 3, he seemed to have matured 10 years ahead.
I wish them the best of luck in the coming years.
Excellent reporting! Thank you
wow ... amazed by such high quality and high risk documentary produced by CNA. We are proud of you.
china is now no 1 in tech n many things.

This is uncharted world class documentary! Kudos to Wei Du n CNA!
Wish them a safe journey! God be with them!
Lol. This type of documentary is very common in the west. This topic has also been extensive covered. This documentary is nothing special. It’s average
Yet another top notch documentary from CNA and Weidu’s team! 👍🏼
But did the series explain why they didn’t opt for a much simpler route in joining a legitimate tour group into USA since they do have some $$
Kudos to "Wei Du" she and her team has done excellent journalism showing the realities of this migration crisis at immense risk.....so after its been to the point without any opinions...
the way Journalism should be...
This is really great work by the CNA team.Its really a Level Up from the usual.
Why dont CNA do one about the anti-Israeli student protests in the US? That's far more exciting.
@@ssss8162Because CNA doesn't want to uncover the truth that Israel is the bad guy
One of the best documentaries I’ve seen in a long time.
...and compliment to Wei Du and team as they embark in this perilous journey episode...tracking Chinese immigrant leaving their country to find Hope.
They are polluting the biodiversity and all !!! Not good
Thank you, CNA Team for recording this.
Watched part 1, now on to part 2. Well made documentary. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your excellent reporting.
Good for the volunteers delivering food to the migrants. Hope the love will spread and the kindness will be passed on. Thank you.
This documentary gave me new insight into how the world works. a world that I have always thought was tough, but in other parts of the world there are things that are even tougher
Thank you to Wei Du and the team for presenting such a touching documentary to the audience. Everyone has a different story behind it and another reason to choose Walk the Line. But they all end up the same, and that is the US.
this is One of the most obvious pro-American sinophobic documentaries of this decade. Illegal Migrants arrive in the USA from India, Taiwan, indeed from all over the world.

Wow! That was really a good documentary! Thanks CNA and Wei Dun for this amazing work. However, I was scared and a bit sad watching those Chinese risking their life just to be a refugee. I didn’t expect that Chinese also wants to be free and out from China.
Freedom doesn't exsist in China
Seriously cool documentary. Kudos!
I am 3 rd generation Chinese immigrants and I ve seen it all. Those think that this is Gold Mountain but no more. They aren’t informed of the current US economic situation nor the personal safety after one entered the U.S. ignorance is tragic. Central and South Americans are so poor they are looking for food and shelter anywhere in the World. Me too why Chinese?
You ask your grandparents
Yes, they are too sheltered and ignorant about what's happening in the world at home in China. Immigrants who go home for a visit, don't want to tell their own relatives and friends the truth for fear of looking bad and silly for leaving their homeland.
Most have to convince themselves life is good in their new country to be happy.
This is what happens when your government controls what you see about the world outside your country.
Why did your grandpa leave？ He didn't have food and shelter in China？
@@lukelu5032but it also goes the same way round. people who left their own country to other countries. Did they have no food and shelter?
TV producer Wei Du & her production team, really got guts to go through such dangerous journey to film this documentary. Seriously for me, I wldn't do it even if I'm being offered a million dollars.! No way.! As mentioned. Many journalist had died while traveling this route.
Amazing documentary. Congrats Wei Du and the rest of the team at CNA!
It's just American propaganda. CNA has proven itself biased to the West, making large a small number of people fleeing their own debts
This is the problem of these people. They want to go to other countries but don't even want to learn the local language. They still think that other people should know their language to understand them.
They think that they will just live in Chinese communities in NYC, LA, and Chicago.
What, Americans? Yeah, I agree.
Theses ppl wave the Chinese flag proudly in the Chinatown and do not blend in the values of western countries !
Agree. They refuse to assimilate. Seen this happen in US and UK.
They will spy for CCP later in western countries
Tears well up for me on the final part of this video. No parent would wanna expose their child to such danger if not for the sake of a better future. May God bless these line walkers throughout these obstacle courses. Thank you Wei du and Team for going thru so much dangers and hardship in covering this. Hope this will make Singaporeans realise how fortunate we are 🙏
你说的不对，他们可以把孩子交给家人照顾，他们自己去美国，等自己在美国安顿下来再把孩子接去美国。带孩子走线的就是精神已经有些不太正常的，把去美国当成精神上的救命稻草。
带孩子walk the line，是因为他们听说有孩子的家庭更加容易得到庇护，这些人都是一些自私而智商低下的人，他们认为到了美国不需要工作坐在家里就能得到政府发放的钱，他们以为美国的一切都是免费的，每个人都有两层楼的大房子住，有BMW汽车，美国政府让每一个美国人都过着富人般的生活。这一切都是流传在中国社交媒体的谎言，美国政府付钱让中国反对派在社交媒体散布这些谎言，想诱使中国人推翻政府，但这些懒惰的中国人并不愿意斗争，他们认为直接walk到美国不是更简单吗！
What they don't realize is probably they will have it worse in the US.
Is this a joke.
They will regret after they reach America...
True
But if someone lied to you and you are a criminal you would probably do the same
Modern okies, who knows how they’ll think about it, certainly their children will thank them in time…
They escaped from Heavy Debt😂😂😂😂
94% of the Chinese love, the Chinese Communist party.The people who live are Misfits and criminals.They are traitors who had a good education for free and they are leaving for a lie
It seems like hundreds of Chinese are "regretting" every day.
this is quality documentary!
Only the brave ones leave China: keep telling yourself that. Only the brave ones end up in unthinkably horrific situations. TELL YOURSELF THAT!
Amazing docuseries i’ve ever watched and hats off to Wei Du & CNA for the brave reporting. The world needs more journalism like this. Such an eye opener
Great perspective to know the stories of the Line walkers. Respect to the produce team.
Wei Du, please do a follow-up report on those Hong Kong folks going to UK on BNO only to get low status jobs.
well this happened years ago. Remember those flew to Canada or US in the 80's or 90's? Many of them needed to work as blue collar workers even they were teachers or nurses or lawyers in HK. The difference is, people were more patience and understand the situation back then. They worked and studied hard to get a better life there. And they (or the 2ne generations) achieved that. Those HK people flew to UK after 2019 are just a bunch of naive people only have pride and don't want to "downgrade" themselves. It is so ironic that they have internet and can collect as much as info they can, they still being naive and think moving to UK without a long term plan can actually work out.
Do Hongkongers have plan worked if they stay ? They may even have a good choice. They have to choose between 2 bad choices @@medusamoor60
UK is one of the worst places to move to. Generational UK citizens (those whose family lines have been UK citizens for multiple generations) are fleeing the UK to places like Canada and US. UK is very broke and it will probably only get worse. They've peaked.
@@fupopandanew election soon. Labour to take over. Bye bye Sunak.
I am now in Thailand, have worked as a Chinese translator, and see hundreds of Chinese travelling around here every day. I don't see any Venezuelans, Hondurans, Columbians, and I have never even seen a Haitian. In Japan, where I live, they are all over the Ginza buying expensive brand products. The crime in China is nowhere near what it is in some countries in South America, and the people I met while travelling around there seem to be doing quite well for the most part. It is very hard to believe that any Chinese would travel through the jungles of South America to come to America. Is this video for real?
yes it is very much real, those who are in south American countries will often see big groups of Chinese and other immigrants coming up thru these south American countries to reach the usa
going on for a while. google voices of America, they have some articles on this.
They are overseas chinese not the china chinese.😂😂😂
China Is as poor as México, both countries have about the same Gdp per capita which by the way its still much higher than Thailand but poor compared to the US
They are trying to escape debts and crimes
Thank you for this eye opening documentary.
Excellent documentary by the CNA team!!! Really broadened my perspectives on the sheer no. of migrants crossing to America via all sorts of possible means, plane, bus, trek, swim...regardless of how tough, difficult and rough the journey gonna be....
I just hope they can have a better life ahead of them....considering how much they have sacrificed and leave behind in China
🙏🙏🙏
Love it! Brilliant documentary!
watch the 3 parts, great job Wei Du
Thank you Wei Du
Coming from a family of political refugees, I can empathize with the struggles faced by such individuals. Even after over 45 years, I continue to revisit survival guides whenever I come across them in books or videos.
Great documentary. As an American I feel sorry for them; for, it won’t be an easy life- all kinds of challenges once they are “officially” legal to stay in the USA.
As a LEGAL immigrant to America, I despise them.
Don't hate the player. Hate the game.
Think of it this way: We can learn from them because so much gets hidden in China. This is exactly what we did during and after WWII with German defectors and it's the main reason we have jets, rockets, and NASA. Plus, if there is indeed spies, it's better to log and watch them rather than just let them sneak in unnoticed, although most spies come in through legal means. Even the 9/11 terrorists were here legally.
@@HyperspaceHoliday As a new U.S. citizen, I hate people like you. All individuals deserve the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Australia and the UK deport their Chinese "asylum seekers." Why do we have to support them? They are coming in and working at illegal Chinese farm land marijuana farms.
Thank you for sharing . We pray that they be safe and find their new opportunities again. If CNA could track them again five years on it will be wonderful ..pray they all be safe and find greater joy and belonging..
Federal government of US is a joke. No other country would allow this. You see how they behave, entitled and dirty smh 🤦
18:23 "I think the smugglers are thinking I'm one of his merchandise"... aww so direct but on point.
The grass always looks greener in your neighbour’s yard.
Wei Du and the team are my heroes. Sam from Jacumba
Most of this is not true c n a is propaganda state supported media
Yes that is what I want to say too!!! Such a highly dangerous project and CNA managed to deliver it!
They'd be my heroes too if they would do one on the anti-Israeli student protests in the US

Great documentary with full of human stories! Great work CNA , Wei Du and her team 👍👍👍. I hope through these programmes (part 1 to 3) , more Chinese people will come to learn the reality at the other side of the “pasture” - which is being perceived greener than where you are.
Apparently, this production about walk the line is better than that made by Voice Of American.
没有好与不好的比较，美国之音工作重心不一样而已。
In China, if rich people and the middle class want to emigrate, they can often go to various countries through normal immigration channels. However, the Chinese at the bottom can hardly get immigrant visas, or even tourist visas for developed countries, so they choose to smuggle. Before smuggling, they overdraw all online loans and credit cards, and then they can't go back, so I have always told people around me not to choose to this road easily unless they really can't stay.
Sounds like they’ve already in huge debt. I reckon they simply just don’t want to pay their debt.
@@tz8719 不能乱下结论
What do you mean “Chinese at the bottom?” These are not poor Chinese!! It’s costly to sneak into the US 🇺🇸
@@tz8719 I would say that instead of not wanting to pay their debt, it’s more like they aren’t able to pay their debt
In the video the men stated that their business went under or they lost their jobs and can’t find anything else, the old woman was too old and no one wants to hire her, so even if they did try to find work, it would only be enough to get by, not enough to feed their families, let alone pay their debts.
Great documentary!
Such GREAT comparisons! Allllll soooo lovely! Especially the *luxdups* tote. Their styles are so chic, sleek, elegant and understated!
I don’t really understand why did these people want to suffer these things. Why don’t they just lived in their hometown and work hard to get happy life?

Because their country is the most evil country in the world!
As far as I know, most of these people choose to go to the United States because they have a huge debt in China. The houses and cars of those who cannot repay the debt will be auctioned off by the court, and they cannot take high-speed trains or airplanes domestically, which leaves them with no choice but to come to the United States. Of course, this does not mean they are all bad people, but going to the United States to start over is indeed a great opportunity. Wishing them all the best.
That explains it.
Yah that part they don’t tell the journalist 😂
Yeah just go to the US
These are the exact people that the US immigion system wants to keep out. We don't need these people. Everyone really forgets that the US has the best immigration system in the world. We ONLY take people who will benefit this nation. A bunch of debtors from China is not what this country needs whatsoever
they lying they under persecution or political reason to the USA lawyer in order they can get green card. They not telling the truth they are actually economic immigrants.
Great documentary, thumb up CNA insider 👍🏻👍🏻
i have to tip my hat to Du Wei and her team for their intimate portrait of Chinese people trapped in property crisis, unemployment and illegal migration. i wish those documentaries could not only shed light on facts but also promote reflections on certain policies and their impact on common people in China.❤
Asylum means needing protection from prosecution. They are all here for new job opportunities. When the US had our "recession " in 2008 did Americans pack up and head to other countries to take care if them ? No! 😤
What’s more amazing, they making this treacherous trip with so little knowledge of the US and its reality!! In 2024, one of these women actually still said she was told US had gold in the streets and they just have to pick it up !!! The stupidity astounds me and have no sympathy for these foolish people...only feel sad for the kids.

从零开始，必须努力。
At least they won't be in a dictatorship country like china. US is a free country
Whether u love or hate USA, tis nation has plenty of the likes of Sam Schultz n his team of volunteers who is juz doing the goodwork without prejudice, God bless all the volunteers & God Bless America!!❤❤❤
Great documentary. 🤗
CNA Insider is really on a roll these days.
Someone help them stop this journey, its not worth it. They will be homeless & starving, look at all the US citizens homeless!
This is sad..they are being used.
Biden won't stop it. Don't know the main reason why.
There is nothing in the USA only hardship!
There are too many immigration agencies on Chinese media platforms has been promoting US as freedom of land and how easy to get rich there. They think they are heading to heaven .
That's their problem
Many Chinese migrants are the mass exodus middle class. They hopefully found a way to secure their money somewhere. But they have money
1,000 Chinese vs 1,000,000 Latino
Omg😂
Unfortunately, they've been sold "The American Dream" which is just a dream. They will learn it the hard way :(.
CNA，please tell these fake refugees to return the money they borrowed from banks and individuals.
Agreed
Not all, some are for real, as many Chinese recently commented in the various medias that they were made bankrupts by unscrupulous deals, be it d property developers, banks, etc or others due their business failures.
@@leechengho2821 business failures don’t qualify asylum applications.
If these fake refugees want to pay off their debt, do you still think they still choose to walk the line?
@@leechengho2821 and many of them lost business on gambling table but they will make up irrelevant stories to cover that
So scary. Why Chinese have more right than the American landowner? Boarder control probably got bribes.
California laws don't allow deadly force to be used on trespassers.
A hell amount of small businesses went bankrupt during the COVID lockdown placed by CCP, and the economy was literally butchered. After that many ppl who used not be interested in politics want out. Usually upper class & middle class follow the immigration laws and do things legally cause it’s affordable and viable for them, the former as investors, the latter mostly as students or skilled workers; as for the lower class who can barely make ends meet, they either borrow illegal loans at a crazy rate or save up money by working like a slave and hardly spending a single extra penny for 2-3 years to muster funds for this dangerous and controversial journey. It’s quite a dreadful sight to behold when its population is bursting out like an exploding volcano.
Check out Du Wei’s documentary on Hong Kong migrants. That was super impressive too.
If a person attributes their failures to external factors, they will not succeed anywhere.
Exactly.
Someone make business was faiure，nobody can be always success
“Xian” can also mean route in certain context. It is probably shortened from the transliteration of the route which is “lu xian”. So it’s not just walking the line, they literally meant “the route”. I think it’s a more accurate description of what they meant by “Zou Xian”
