In 2018 the Dominican Republic became the latest country to establish diplomatic ties with China. It is also home to the Caribbean's largest community of Chinese immigrants.
People of Chinese descent have been relocating to the DR in waves since the mid-1800’s. In the mid-2000’s the capital, Santo Domingo, officially launched the nation’s first “Chinatown.”
