Chinese Uruguayans are Uruguayan citizens of Chinese ancestry.
The first flow of immigration arrived in 1949, coming from mainland China and Taiwan.[1] Nowadays there are some 400 Chinese immigrants in Uruguay, mostly living in Montevideo. Their activities include gastronomy, fishing, groceries.[2]
The 2011 Uruguayan census revealed 226 people who declared China as their country of birth.[3] As of 2013, there are 44 Chinese citizens registered in the Uruguayan social security.[4] Compared to neighboring Argentina, Chinese immigration is too small in Uruguay.[1]
There are a Chinese Uruguayan Association[2] and a Uruguay-China Chamber of Commerce in Montevideo.[5]
Some Chinese immigrants teach their language to Uruguayans.[2]
