The Chinese first came to Belize when it was still British Honduras, and they were brought there as indentured servants. More recently, in the 1990s they came to take advantage of an Immigration program in Belize where you could gain citizenship by investing money in the country. Many opened family-owned shops with their investment money. The Chinese have faced considerable prejudice in Belize and their businesses are often targeted for crime. The number of Chinese in Belize has fallen over the last decade as many Chinese have moved to neighboring countries.
