When the Chinese Exclusion Act barred most Chinese immigrants from entering the United States, many opted to instead settle within northern Mexico. Despite the harsh environment, Chinese migrants successfully adapted to their new homeland, where they forged a new identity as Chinese Mexicans and found various degrees of economic success. Yet when the Mexican Revolution began, both native populations and revolutionary forces turned against the Chinese Mexicans, viewing them as both economic competition and carriers of vice and disease. Cases of persecution and violence against Chinese Mexicans became common during the Revolution, with the worst atrocity being the Torreón Massacre. Yet in an unexpected turn of events, the U.S. government supported Chinese Mexicans by instructing U.S. Consuls stationed across Mexico to assist Chinese Mexicans who needed protection. Such actions contradicted poor U.S. treatment towards Chinese Americans at this time. However, this thesis argues that such contradictions make sense when self-interests are factored into the equation. For example, U.S. businesses and economic interests had a large presence within northern Mexico, and the United States feared that anti-Chinese violence, if left unchecked, would soon target U.S. interests as well. Therefore, the United States used Chinese Mexicans as a proxy to protect its own economic interests without having to directly intervene. Another benefit of these actions was that such protection limited attempts by the Chinese Mexicans to immigrate from Mexico into the United States. While the U.S. treatment of Chinese in both Mexico and the United States appear quite different, the lens of U.S. self-interests demonstrates why these actions took place.
