Hundreds of Chinese in northern Mexico were tortured and murdered in the 1920s and 1930s . The most serious act occurred earlier . It was the 1911 massacre of over 300 Chinese in Torreón , Coahuila , which was carried out by a faction of Pancho Villa ’s army . This army would sack Chinese homes and businesses as well . This event galvanized the anti-Chinese movement in Mexico . Francisco I. Madero offered to pay an indemnity of three million pesos to the Chinese government for the act but this never happened due to the coup by Victoriano Huerta
