There are two regularly scheduled flights between Latin America and Asia. Yes, only two, unless you count a connection between Sao Paulo and Qatar.
They run between Mexico City and Toyko and between Mexico city and Shanghai, with a fueling stop one way in Tijuana. The flights are operated by Aeromexico.
There are many, many airlines that want to sell you a connecting flight between Asia and Latin America through LAX or SFO. The two flights that don't pass through the USA charge a $5-600 average premium over the flights that connect in the USA for the cheapest tickets.
So that's what avoiding the USA customs and TSA procedures is worth in the market: $5-600, round trip.
