Background[edit | edit source]
In the 1850s and 1860, about 2,500 Chinese went to Suriname. Most of these migrants were indentured laborers.
In the late 1950s and 1960s, other Chinese came as free laborers, traders or shop assistants. A large number of Chinese came in the 1990s, and immigration is still going. [1]
