Mauritians of Chinese descent are known as Sino-Mauritians or Chinese Mauritians. In other words, they are Mauritians whose ethnic ancestry is that of China.
Infact, the Sino-Mauritian Community in Mauritius represents approximately 3% of the local population. And more than half of this community is based in Port-Louis, the capital of Mauritius.
Chinese settlement in Mauritius started in the 1800s. Many migrated from Guangdong, a coastal province in South China. The settlers would set up camp in what is now known as China Town. This is in the heart of Port Louis.
Sino-Mauritians have contributed to economic emancipation of the local Mauritian Economy through trade. In addition more than 60% of the Sino-Mauritian Community are still merchants or traders.
The Sino-Mauritian community have won the hearts of the island through their cultural practices, unique flavours and traditions. Moreover, they have also influenced the local cuisine.
