I am Chinese and living in the U.S. now. Several years ago, I visited Lima and Cusco valley. The Peruvian people were friendly and Lima reminded me of Asia. I felt very welcomed in Peru.
I am an ABC, an American Born Chinese. I visited Peru 15 years ago and was surprised to see so many Chifa's. In Lima it seems that every block had at least 1 - 2 Chifas. We had dinner at one, I talked to the Chinese owner and he indicated that business is good and happy to be a Peruvian citizen.
Yeees, I am Peruvian living in the US but when I go back to Peru to visit, I have to stop at as many Chifas as possible. I love arroz chaufa de pollo (Chinese chicken fried rice) it is my favorite!
@@lesliep7925 Hi, do you know if there are tours of the Chifas? That would be an interesting tour to visit and try out the local Peruvian-Chinese food.
@X_X-720 i was born in Peru, my mother escaped communism and embraced her new home. We are Peruvian citizens because that's the culture we grew up in. Chifa is Chinese food with peruvian ingredients. Nothing like it. Not even "authentic" Chinese food compares.
@@jasonrazojazo Totally wrong, in fact Peru is the country with the most original gastronomy in the Americas. Mexico copies its gastronomy from the Arabs and Ecuador and Bolivia copy their gastronomy from Peru.

@@forlua9211 Yes, you will have bad people from everywhere, including the Chinese. But in general, the new immigrants are hard-working and will do their best to adapt and make a better life wherever they migrated.
As a Peruvian married to a Chinese (chinita bonita) I can tell that there are lots of cultural similarities, as a Peruvian child I always loved coming back from school and arroz chaufa (fried rice) was on the table even tho my mum wasn’t Chinese but most Peruvian mums knows how to cook chaufa 😊 I remember mention words to my wife like chaufa, kion, sillaou and she was surprised with a expression on her face she’d say hey! That’s Cantonese and I replied to her no that’s Peruvian 😂 our kids loved both Peruvian and Chinese food😊contigo PERU!!!
when I was in Peru, the waiter explained what arroz chaufa is to me, hahaha I am Chinese oc I know what it is, it is so common in Peru that he thinks it is Peruvian food 😊 one can find arroz chaufa in most restaurants in Peru 😋 and chow mein too.
@@justme6275 you know, my mum used to put little squares of fried potatoes 😊 I love it!!! I can imagine your surprise when you heard words like kion, sillaou, chufan, etc 😆 although sounds more like Cantonese 😊
One of the best migrations Peru received. You will never see a Chinese migrant begging in the streets, regardless of how poor they were when they arrived. Long live the Tusans.
Es muy querida la cultura china en el Perú. Son muy trabajadores y tranquilos. Son un poco callados las primeras generaciones, quizás por el idioma, pero los hijos son tan peruanos como nosotros.
i had peruvian food for the first time 20 years ago. i remember thinking how similar it was to asian cooking so ive always had a soft spot for peru as a result. this all makes sense now.
it was estimated that 15% (or 4 million) of the 30 million Peruvians had Chinese roots and ancestry, tracing back to the 19th century arrival of 100,000 Chinese immigrants that migrated to Peru and entered relationships with many Peruvian women
@@FredShin-m7x Chinese workers arrived in Peru around 1847 to work in the mines and when the gold mines were discovered in San Francisco a lots of Chinese workers move over there(San Francisco gold rush).
During the same period, the Silk Road Sea Route took rich Chinese male merchants to South East Asia, especially Singapore and Malaysia. Only male were sailing during these old days, so they married the local Malaysia ladies. They created a sub- culture called Baba (male) and Nyonya (female) , their cuisine is called Nyonya food, with complex layers of spices and coconut milk. The famous curry Rendang is the best example. Their Manson are now museums in Singapore, Penang and Melaka. The rich merchants housewife spend all day perfecting their cooking to impress their guests with elaborate multi courses meals with fancy porcelain. Even Gordon Ramsay tried to learn how to cook Rendang from the specialty chef 😊 I hope their heritage will continue, their cooking is very tedious, with complex mixture of spices and techniques but it's soooo delicious
The Chinese men had so many kids in Peru they wouldve populated it like China if more wouldve immigrated there. So many Peruvians look Asian bc of them and the Asian genes are strong
Wow, I did not know the Chinese influence in Peru. Seems like the Peruvians embraced the Chinese and their culture especially food. Who doesn't love Chinese cuisine?
Remember when I was a kid my parents took me to Huaral (north Lima) and I saw a lot of Chinese people living there, most were already assimilated into Peruvian society, speaking Spanish and married to Peruvian citizens. Also, I grew up in Los Olivos, and in my neighborhood had at least 4 Chinese families, all of them super nice and very successful. So now when I walk in Lima and see an Asian looking person I might think first that he or she is Peruvian and not Asian 😂
Peru, 🇵🇪 also known as the ancient country of CULTURAL DIVERSITY and 5,000 flavors.

You are denying what happened in the past. And he didn’t say 1990s he said 1890s and that is when the Chinese were brought to Peru for cheap labor…well in the 1840s. Also after that the Japanese came a few decades later. So cool your jets.

Wow thank you for this, I had no idea! I knew China influenced many countries that are geographically nearby to them like Vietnam, Korea, Japan and Thailand with their culture but Peru is all the way in South America...just WOW!
A Brazilian acquaintance once told me, that as a Chinese, if you walk down the streets of Brazil, no one will ask if you are from China. They might ask if you are from São Paulo 😍😂. I wonder if that is the same for Peru. Visited South America (Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and Peru) more than 10 years ago. It was such an incredible experience, I would love to visit again. We met so many lovely people. The culture, the experience, the sights and the entire experience was so eye-opening in an amazing way.
Went to Peru 🇵🇪 almost 3 years ago. Stayed in barranco neighborhood for a week but I went to the chinatown area and it felt just like any chinatown in the states. I’m from NYC we have three different ones here. The controlled chaos and plenty of restaurants and the constant hustle and bustle is lovely to just stroll and people watch and window shop. I did enjoy a nice meal at a Peruvian Chinese restaurant. Had some duck. Tasted great. Peru in general I’d say is a top 3 cuisine is all of Latin America
I used to go there with my grandmother as a kid. We're Japanese though. My favorite thing was to get a sweet bean ming bao...I'm American now, haven't been back to Peru in 40 years.
Such interesting and quality programming on the Chinese immigrant history in the Americas. It is something you will never see on American regime media.
Chinese and Peruvian community had a strong tie in the past. Alberto Fujimori came to power as the president of Peru in 1990 to 2000. Fujimori was a Japanese descent influenced by the NGO's to serve the American interest in Peru. The relationship between China and Peru was weakening by him. Fujimori was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison. He managed to override the full sentence with the influence of his daughter and the Elite people. He fled to Japan in 2000 and switched his nationality to avoid extradition for mass murder charges, corruption and frauds.
President Fujimori was the best president in the recent history of Peru. He brought peace and security to the Peruvian people and saved Peru from the worst economic and social crisis in its history.
Desde la llegada de los primeros chinos al Peru en 1849, se han fusionado de manera positiva con los peruanos. En el Peru ya existia una fusion de los pueblos originarios (inkas, Aymaras, Chimus, etc) con lo europeros y africanos; y recientemente los venezolanos. El Peru es de todas las sangres.
Peruvian- chinese food is onky popular in Lima and some coast cities. In the mountains ( sierra) is not popular cause we have a strong culture and Peru is also as anciet as China, so a little bit of exageration about what he says this man. A lot peruvians wr love potato, sweet potato and chinesse dont eat or at least as usual as peruvians, potato is the nase of our diet. In Lima theres thousands of peruvians chinesse food ( chifas) because theresa lot of cninesse descendants living there , like 2-3 million people.
La sierra solo tiene 7 millones de habitantes y la Costa tiene 20 millones de habitantes, Lima tiene 11 millones de habitantes, a los de la sierra no les gusta la comida china porque solo comen chuño y papa, hay mucha anemia infantil, la base de la comida peruana es el arroz, prácticamente todos los restaurantes sirven el segundo con arroz ni que decir de las hogares, el arroz es la base de la comida peruana y es la herencia que trajeron los chinos, y es verdad hay 2 millones de descendientes chinos en Perú.
En todo el pais hay chifas, pero si que es mas popular en Lima por las migraciones. Lima ha creado un cultura diferente en base a migraciones, en los Andes y la selva todavia se conserva la cultura que es algo mas fuerte, la gente tambien es muy diferente en los andes a los de la costa, totalmente diferente tanto en la forma de hablar comportarse, etc. Los andinos quizas no sentimos orgullosos por tener todavia parte de nuestra cultura, tambien la gente en los andes en mas tranquila, tenemos el espiritu andino de las montañas, algo que se representa en la musica andina.
El arroz chauffeur se come en todo Peru, el tallarin saltado, el CHIFA, ESTA EN TODO EL PERU, what are you talking about CHIFA (peruvian-chinese fusion food) it is popular around Peru.

Tem um bairro com uma arquitetura japonesa ( liberdade) mas é algo muito simples e em Chinatown nos estados unidos é bem apreciado , país desenvolvido é outra coisa . China comprou uma cidade no nordeste e talvez eu espero que tenha muita coisa que lembre a cultura chinesa.😢
Was just in 🇨🇳 and a lot of the cities were very 🇵🇪-like will tell you. Shops, kiosks just like what u see. In 🇵🇪, there. Some shops not gonna lie reminded me of the Inka market in Miraflores. Like 🇨🇳 is very Latin America like in terms of standard & infrastructure will say.
Basically there are Chinese everywhere around the world 😅 the most confusing part for me was to see Chinese living in culccata, India from a travel adventure show. Similarly, when I was in Hong Kong, I saw an Indian family with kids, the mother was wearing traditional Sari 🥻, they were speaking Cantonese 😅 among the 2 family 😅
peruvian chinese like many chinese diaspora are best understood as 外家 Daughters who married out, thinking fondly of the Great GrandmotherLand and the extended Family. We are not 内家 and presume not the privileges of 内孩

It's still no match for Japan and Korea's Kawaii culture in which is a culture most millennials and Gen Zs correspond with which is the population of the future. China's soft power was never enough at the end of the day.
The Chinese that migrated to Peru were Cantonese in its majority . And Chifa is a corruption of the way Cantonese used to pronounce the word and how Peruvians used to hear it.

You are denying what happened in the past. And he didn’t say 1990s he said 1890s and that is when the Chinese were brought to Peru for cheap labor…well in the 1840s. Also after that the Japanese came a few decades later. So cool your jets.
@@allanq.6135 "....the Chinese were brought to Peru for cheap labor…well in the 1870s..." , Also due to the Chinese were treated as slaves in peru , many chinese ppl decided to be part of Chile Army in the war of 1879
@@XIIX18XYes …I already said that on a different post.And actually was in 1842. I am just correcting what the other guy said.
@@allanq.6135 read well and twice
@@XIIX18X Totally false, the Chilean army massacred Chinese citizens and peasants if they refused to join the Chilean army, some Chinese accepted out of fear, other Chinese refused and fought against the Chilean army
Peru looks like what the Philippines would look like had American occupation never happened and Spanish remained the lingua franca.

Amazing. My mums chinese and my dad peruvian😊
It would be very interesting to know about the historical background of the Chinese in Cuba.
There are Chinese in Calccata, India , I saw it on a travel adventure show 😊
Perú and China Amazing Cultures.
Wow thank you for this, I had no idea! I knew China influenced many countries that are geographically nearby to them like Vietnam, Korea, Japan and Thailand with their culture but Peru is all the way in South America...just WOW!
A Brazilian acquaintance once told me, that as a Chinese, if you walk down the streets of Brazil, no one will ask if you are from China. They might ask if you are from São Paulo 😍😂. I wonder if that is the same for Peru.
Visited South America (Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and Peru) more than 10 years ago. It was such an incredible experience, I would love to visit again. We met so many lovely people. The culture, the experience, the sights and the entire experience was so eye-opening in an amazing way.
Went to Peru 🇵🇪 almost 3 years ago. Stayed in barranco neighborhood for a week but I went to the chinatown area and it felt just like any chinatown in the states. I’m from NYC we have three different ones here. The controlled chaos and plenty of restaurants and the constant hustle and bustle is lovely to just stroll and people watch and window shop. I did enjoy a nice meal at a Peruvian Chinese restaurant. Had some duck. Tasted great. Peru in general I’d say is a top 3 cuisine is all of Latin America
I used to go there with my grandmother as a kid. We're Japanese though. My favorite thing was to get a sweet bean ming bao...I'm American now, haven't been back to Peru in 40 years.
Such interesting and quality programming on the Chinese immigrant history in the Americas. It is something you will never see on American regime media.
Merci, lovely
La influencia cultural y los lazos son tan fuerte que al Fujimori japonés le decían "el chino".
I am Chinese Maybe I should go to Peru to find a husband😂. Love the sound of their language
Chinese and Peruvian community had a strong tie in the past. Alberto Fujimori came to power as the president of Peru in 1990 to 2000. Fujimori was a Japanese descent influenced by the NGO's to serve the American interest in Peru. The relationship between China and Peru was weakening by him. Fujimori was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison. He managed to override the full sentence with the influence of his daughter and the Elite people. He fled to Japan in 2000 and switched his nationality to avoid extradition for mass murder charges, corruption and frauds.
President Fujimori was the best president in the recent history of Peru. He brought peace and security to the Peruvian people and saved Peru from the worst economic and social crisis in its history.
A very very bad person.
@@grouchypatch9185 that issue is controvertial.
Nada tiene que ver este reportaje con el comentario del presidente de ascendencia japonesa 😂
@@grouchypatch9185 Didn"t Fujimori shut down Sendero Luminoso and incarcerated Abimael Guzman.?
This is so interesting! I had no idea 😊❤

Desde la llegada de los primeros chinos al Peru en 1849, se han fusionado de manera positiva con los peruanos. En el Peru ya existia una fusion de los pueblos originarios (inkas, Aymaras, Chimus, etc) con lo europeros y africanos; y recientemente los venezolanos. El Peru es de todas las sangres.
wow very coolllll thumb up salute
Peruvian- chinese food is onky popular in Lima and some coast cities. In the mountains ( sierra) is not popular cause we have a strong culture and Peru is also as anciet as China, so a little bit of exageration about what he says this man. A lot peruvians wr love potato, sweet potato and chinesse dont eat or at least as usual as peruvians, potato is the nase of our diet. In Lima theres thousands of peruvians chinesse food ( chifas) because theresa lot of cninesse descendants living there , like 2-3 million people.
La sierra solo tiene 7 millones de habitantes y la Costa tiene 20 millones de habitantes, Lima tiene 11 millones de habitantes, a los de la sierra no les gusta la comida china porque solo comen chuño y papa, hay mucha anemia infantil, la base de la comida peruana es el arroz, prácticamente todos los restaurantes sirven el segundo con arroz ni que decir de las hogares, el arroz es la base de la comida peruana y es la herencia que trajeron los chinos, y es verdad hay 2 millones de descendientes chinos en Perú.
En todo el pais hay chifas, pero si que es mas popular en Lima por las migraciones. Lima ha creado un cultura diferente en base a migraciones, en los Andes y la selva todavia se conserva la cultura que es algo mas fuerte, la gente tambien es muy diferente en los andes a los de la costa, totalmente diferente tanto en la forma de hablar comportarse, etc.
Los andinos quizas no sentimos orgullosos por tener todavia parte de nuestra cultura, tambien la gente en los andes en mas tranquila, tenemos el espiritu andino de las montañas, algo que se representa en la musica andina.
El arroz chauffeur se come en todo Peru, el tallarin saltado, el CHIFA, ESTA EN TODO EL PERU, what are you talking about CHIFA (peruvian-chinese fusion food) it is popular around Peru.
@cyberfranc:🎯 ¡¡ FALSA,🤥 INFORMACIÓN, el ARROZ, es COMPLEMENTO de varias COMIDAS TÍPICAS COSTEÑAS de Perú,🇵🇪 MÁS NO ❌ LA BASE EN CULINARIA NACIONAL DE TODO EL PAÍS, tal es el caso de Región Sierra, donde sus Poblaciones, de acuerdo a producciones de Agricultura, y Ganadería, de zonas que habitan, cuentan gastronomía propias de dichos lugares, lo cual, algo lógico es como en cualquier lugar del Mundo,🌎 de modo que, decir que tales Pobladores, "solo consumen chuño, y papa", es un comentario FALAZ,🤥 RUFIÁN,😈 y hasta RACISTA, por cuanto minimiza a tales personas por tener costumbres, y usos diferentes, de parte quienes creen ser mejores que otros !!
@@cyberfranc3085 en la sierra no se come solo chuño y papa. Educate. La base de la comida peruana es la papa y es mil veces mejor que el arroz el cual no tiene mucho valor nutritivo. La anemia en los andes es por la falta de carne. Por si acaso, si hay restaurantes chinos en la sierra y siempre están llenos.
Los tenemos presentes en nuestras comidas, mi arroz chaufa, tallarin saltado, mi arrocito, mi chifa..pucha como lo extraño
Jajaja veo gente muerta por comer basura 😂 bya
😂😂😂😂 Dina Boluarte
In cantonese to eat is sik fan whereas mandarin it's Che fan which is closer in sound to chifa
can someone tell me, why mexico hate chinese but the people of peru love all things chinese? thanks for your help!
@@mimibanales5736 if so, why did the chinese had to live in the worst place in mexico (i., e, super hot mexicali). to not be killed, they lived under ground. the chinese communities are very small pockets and very few asians did well. on the other hand, in peru, the chinese commuity thrived and both people did well. 50% of the chinese who moved to peru, married the locals. just look at all the chinese business in all the major cities. bravo peru for your warm hearts, rich history & wonderful people.
@@raymonddon8875 seems you don't know how to read or comprehend...in Mexicali not only Chinese live there, Mexicans also live there, in fact, Mexicali it's the capital of Baja California Norte, and like I said, I never denied the ugly history that happen when they first arrived in Mexico, and like a stated, México has even apologized for that ugly part of our history, HISTORY, meaning the past, we don't hate Chinese people, get your facts right between the past and the present! And by the way, still today there are a lot of Chinese/Mexican people loving their, nobody id forcing them now to live there, like many Mexicans who love there today! TODAY!...now Chinese are part of our culture like Mexicans, and WE DO NOT HATE, that it's a false statement...but if you refer to the past when they first arrived, Mexican government did not treated them well, but like a said, Mexico has apologize for that ugly part of our history, but seems that the one who hates Mexico it's actually you just by stating that we hate Chinese people
@@raymonddon8875 read again my comment because you don't seem to read well or comprehend, on Mexicali until this day Chinese and Mexicans live in Mexicali, and like a said, there is that ugly part in our history that even the Mexican government has apologize, but it's false that up to this day, we hate Chinese, right now they also have big business and they trive, seems like YOU just hate Mexicans 🤷
@@raymonddon8875 and just by your "logic" I would ask, why peruvian people hate people from Ecuador (given your past history around WW2)?...I don't think you hate them today? Right? Even do you have your ugly past with them...
@@raymonddon8875 I deleted my original message (because you or RUclips erased all of my rebuttal) because I now understand you just posted your original message for your own agenda of hate to Mexico 🤷
Muito bonito a cultura no Peru, no Brasil tem muitos imigrantes chineses e queria que tivesse uma infraestrutura voltada a cultura chinesa, mas infelizmente é uma coisa precária. Tem um bairro com uma arquitetura japonesa ( liberdade) mas é algo muito simples e em Chinatown nos estados unidos é bem apreciado , país desenvolvido é outra coisa . China comprou uma cidade no nordeste e talvez eu espero que tenha muita coisa que lembre a cultura chinesa.😢
Was just in 🇨🇳 and a lot of the cities were very 🇵🇪-like will tell you. Shops, kiosks just like what u see. In 🇵🇪, there. Some shops not gonna lie reminded me of the Inka market in Miraflores. Like 🇨🇳 is very Latin America like in terms of standard & infrastructure will say.
Peru is a pacific nation. Like western United States and Canada, it is going to have had more Asian immigrants and commerce with Asian nations.
It’s funny not many Latin American restaurants in Asian. 🤔 🤔 🤔 but Asians sure want us to eat their food 🤮
We are all humans. Embracing human diversity is better than human discrimination (racism). 9/2024.
Colonizer countries, take note : this how INTEGRATION in harmony should be. Respect !
My NYC Chinese takeout has Mexican cooks.
not only in nyc, everywhere in america 🤣
@@justme6275 Americans eat, don't cook.
Lots of Chinese restaurants in Guadalajara Mexico. I wonder if a similar migrant flow happened there also.
Basically there are Chinese everywhere around the world 😅 the most confusing part for me was to see Chinese living in culccata, India from a travel adventure show.
Similarly, when I was in Hong Kong, I saw an Indian family with kids, the mother was wearing traditional Sari 🥻, they were speaking Cantonese 😅 among the 2 family 😅
Don't forget Mexicali , Baja California Norte , Culiacan, Sinaloa and Mexico City DF large Chinese community there.
There is no Japanese neighborhood but the street is filled with Japanese lucky cat figurines and Samurai and most restaurant probably serve sushi LOL
peruvian chinese like many chinese diaspora are best understood as 外家 Daughters who married out, thinking fondly of the Great GrandmotherLand and the extended Family. We are not 内家 and presume not the privileges of 内孩
I'm African 🙋♂️
Lol maneki neko
Inmensa gratitud al Peru por abrir los brazos hermanos a la inmigracion China!!! Y en la actualidad China esta trabajando junto con el Peru para progresar juntamente al siglo siguiente!!! Nuestra gratitud no es solamente de Corazon pero de acciones y trabajo y de compartir nuestra habilidades para el bien del Pais!!! Peru siempre va a estar en los Corazones de los inmigrantes Chinos!!! Somo Peruanos de Corazon!!!!
Beautiful story of what a “melting pot” of people can be
Barrio Chino in Lima 🥰
The language of Chinese immigrants to Latin America is CANTONESE. Now the Mandarin people are coming to replace them
I want to see more Chinese girls in Peru.
why?
@@Mayalovestosleep
They make good wives. What's your nationality?
@@Mayalovestosleepto "strenghten the connection" I guess he means 😅😅😅
@@trufflefur yea i dont think so...
there are a lot girls of asian looking girls here (like me for example)
@@Mayalovestosleep I know, but it's not for the looks but the culture, customs, and just spicing up the social diversity.
It's still no match for Japan and Korea's Kawaii culture in which is a culture most millennials and Gen Zs correspond with which is the population of the future. China's soft power was never enough at the end of the day.
chifa 😘
I wanna see some Chinese mix with Peruvian chicks.
Chinese and Yamato do great for Asian community building in Peru. Good job!
Perúviano Grazie Mile venbenutov
mas pollo ..menos verdula... te encatalaaaa..😁😁😎😎
There are more Japanese than Chinese in Peru.
I know why, but tell me.
lol! then, you are not peruvian.
Maneki neko is japanese
In Peru there are also many Japanese descendants, they are called Nikkei. In Japan there are many Peruvian restaurants.
hasta en el pueblito mas lejano hay dos cosas una polleria y un chifa
Chi fan is mandarin
Why is there a Samurai in China town?
lost his way😂, in Peru there are also many Japanese descendants, it is called Nikkei. Peruvian Chinese are Tusan and Peruvian Japanese are Nikkei.
I prefer chifa
Chifas is Mandarine. Cantonese would be Sicfas.
Chifa is written and pronounced (phonetics) in peruvian spanish. It is not english phonetics.
@@luiscc3913 In what part did i said it was in English. Either way "Chi" means Eat in "mandarin".
Chifa is cantonese you are wrong.
The Chinese that migrated to Peru were Cantonese in its majority . And Chifa is a corruption of the way Cantonese used to pronounce the word and how Peruvians used to hear it.
china loves all things peru & peru loves all things china = match made with love!
More 🇨🇳 in 🇨🇦 will tell you that, but yeah chifa and authentic 🇨🇳 food from 🇨🇳 (recently there), very different there, hahaha
This food is CHIFA
SOLO EN EL PERÚ,..ESTAN LOS CHIFAS....CON EL TIEMPO ALGUNOS PAISES HAN COPIADO EL NOMBRE QUE SOLO SE LE DABA EN LIMA A LOS RESTAURANTES DE COMIDA CHINA.
Chinese love potatoes and sweet potatoes. They eat it all over China. stop censoring my harmless comment!!!
Chinos peoples wonderfool ..from Lima Huaraz.
Old news been there done that chaufa is old.
On that basis China will claim Peru is part of china since ancient times 😂😂😂😂
You never know… as a Peruvian, don’t want any more Chinese immigrants here.
I hope Chinese tourist no need apply visa to Mexico, Peru, Chile, Brazil and Argentina like as Cuba and Jamaica visa free for China tourist.
No thanks!
Ask a Peruvian Chinese what they think of China and its leaders. They will quietly tell you that they are thankful for being Peruvian.
Lies!!! So why do they fiercely keep their culture in foreign countries. China man lies!!!
In Mexico live 2 million Chinese and Chinese descent.
That is fake, ony 30 K chinese in Mexico
@@VidelaArg fake?! You’re ignorant. Investigate.
The Chinese in Mexico dropped their Chinese culture and adopted Mexican culture because it’s the best!!!
@@samlamme5924They adopted the Aztec culture because it's more ancient
@alalesc3796
you have video report
toisan. tusan!
Yep it sounds like a derivation of Toisan, which would make sense because people from Toisan were usually the earliest Chinese migrants to arrive in North & South America.
