Anywhere there is a large grouping of Chinese nationals living in a community there will be a mini-economic boom as a consequence of the businesses they have established. This is due purely to their hard work and always bettering the prices of their competitors instead of hoarding their stocks.
This is the view of President of the Chinese Association of Guyana Chow Shi Loung, who said too that their success can also be put down to the fact that the Chinese help each other and they spend most of their time working.
While January 12 marked 160 years since the first Chinese came to Guyana as indentured workers, in recent years there has been a large influx of Chinese coming to Guyana referred to as the ‘new Chinese.’
