They don't call them "human merchant", they call them "Human smugglers" or "snake head"! Although I do not have proof, I heard someone told me that plenty of snake heads along Mexico boarders are Taiwanese. I hope they are wrong on this.

Some Chinese has speculated exactly the same, right after this s**t hits the news. The so-called "tip" is the "practical joke" from the Human smugglers because those guys refused to pay them! And my guess is all those 14 people are possibly from Fujian.

The gov. officials in Fujian are the most corrupted. Yesterday read that the #1 richest person in Fujian named Chen Kai got a lot of his money from human smuggling of prostitutes, and 50 officials involved. It is only fair to have some heads rolled.

All people in the two times of Chinese hostage in Iraq were from Fujian, after the Chinese gov. repeatedly called not to go there. Most of illegal immigrants in the US are from Fujian. A couple of months ago, CCTV had a report on one village in Fujian Province. People in that whole village became rich by cheating on the Internet (promised some cheap goods but do not deliver after getting paid), and a couple of them become millionaires by doing this. Only after the exposure on CCTV, then the local police symbolically caught a couple of offenders, leaving most of offenders alone. What a shame!
