Why are there Cuban Chinese restaurants in Miami, Florida?

March 7, 2020 by Karen Hill

Cuban Chinese restaurants, readily found in cities with large Cuban American populations, blend the two cuisines.

They exist because a minority of Cubans are people of Chinese descent.

More than 100,000 Chinese contract workers came to Cuba between 1840 and 1870, at a time when African slave labor was being phased out.
