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.

[@rfcgong1]

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!

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.

It is inaccurate to say that the 1990s meant a low period for the Chinese -Peruvian. Quite the opposite, Peru opened its borders to the very first wave of Chinese immigrants since 1949. The first Chinese investments arrived here. Fujimori had several ministers of Chinese background. Chinese nationals were the first foreign nationals to acquire the Peruvian passport. A second Pan Asian neighnourhood rise across Aviacion avenue. China made its first steps as major foreign investor in Peru in the 1990s.

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.

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.

Chifa is written and pronounced (phonetics) in peruvian spanish. It is not english phonetics.

[@suntzu-hi6hz]

​@@luiscc3913 In what part did i said it was in English. Either way "Chi" means Eat in "mandarin".

[@edwinsiu5205]

Chifa is cantonese you are wrong.

[@allanq.6135]

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.

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.
