<P> Chinese - Trinidadian and Tobagonian ( sometimes Sino - Trinidadian and Tobagonian or Chinese Trinbagonian ) are Trinidadians and Tobagonians of Chinese ancestry . The group includes people from China , Hong Kong and Overseas Chinese who have immigrated to Trinidad and Tobago and their descendants , including those who have emigrated to other countries ( especially the United States , Canada and the United Kingdom , but also to other countries including China ) . The term is usually applied both to people of mixed and unmixed Chinese ancestry , although the former usually appear as mixed race in census figures . Chinese settlement began in 1806 . Between 1853 and 1866 2,645 Chinese immigrants arrived in Trinidad as indentured labour for the sugar and cacao plantations . Immigration peaked in the first half of the twentieth century , but was sharply curtailed after the Chinese Revolution in 1949 . After peaking at 8,361 in 1960 , the ( unmixed ) Chinese population in Trinidad declined to 3,800 in 2000 . </P>
