Clojure is becoming popular in Mexico, and I'm guessing Brazil may see a similar situation, because of nubank. It is a popular destination to go work there for computer scientists, and they seem to work mostly in Clojure. I seem to remember they even employed some of the core members of the language? I think at some point they also bought the company of Jose Valim (Elixir's creator), but I think they are still mostly a Clojure shop.

Nubank purchased Cognitect (the consulting company behind Clojure) in 2020, as well as Platformatec (employers of Jose Valim); the latter was for access to Platformatec's project management expertise (see https://building.nubank.com.br/tech-perspectives-behind-nuba... there is no Elixir code running at Nubank AFAIK.
There is Python on the "other side" of the ETL pipeline, but everything user-facing is (again AFAIK) Clojure on the backend and TypeScript in the Android and iOS apps.

I often encounter Clojure Chinese users (at least Chinese sounding names, don't know about their nationality). I wonder if Clojure is a thing in China ?

no. But because of the population, even 0.0001% of developers using it, it still has an observable impact on the community.
