Introduction. The first Chinese reportedly arrived in Cuba in 1847. Later, Eugene Chen (1878-1944) was a Trinidad-born Chinese. Chen twice became Foreign Minister of the Guomindang-led Republic of China under Sun Yat-sen.
Much later yet in the 1950s, Chinese in Cuba assisted Fidel Castro's revolution against the U.S.-supported dictator Fulgencio Batista (Source: Armando Ortiz, "Further response to query re: El Salvador's East Asian Diplomacy," H-ASIA, 14 July 2007), paragraph 3.
For insights into a harrowing Chinese emigrant trans-Pacific voyage to Trinidad, consult Helen Atteck and Philip Atteck's book Stress of Weather: A Collection of Original Source Documents Relating to a Voyage from China to Trinidad, West Indies, in 1862 in Conjunction with a Family Chronicle (St. Catherine's, Ontario: Wanata Enterprises, 2000).
Meanwhile, by 1990, more than 5% of Panama's population was Chinese (Dudley L. Poston, Jr., Michael Xingxiang Mao and Mei-Yu Yu, "The Global Distribution of the Overseas Chinese Around 1990," Population and Development Review, vol. 20, no. 3 [September 1994], p. 635, Figure 1).
And the origins, arrival, diffusion and impact of Chinese in the Caribbean and Latin America have been the focus of several international scholarly conferences. (Visit the Transregional section of the Chinese Cultures Abroad WWW Virtual Library, and scroll down to entry Trans-14.)
