Sino-Mauritian - Sino-Mauritian Identity

Sino-Mauritian Identity

Despite having kept some ties with their traditional culture, Sino-Mauritians do not identify to the mainland Chinese culture per se, probably due to the high "Mauritianism" and very strong Mauritian identity in the country As Lemon Lau said in her study supervised by Hong Kong University on Sino-Mauritian identity, "Contrary to what could be observed in the U.S., when ones who looked like Chinese descendants being asked if they are Chinese, they would never give an asserting reply but they would rather say they were Mauritian. Had I not interrogated them further, they would not have given subsequent answer of them being a Chinese Mauritian."
