The Story of the BBC (that’s short for British Born Chinese)
The chinese community continues to rapidly grow in the UK, here’s a little timeline about how it all began…
It all kicked off way back in the 17th Century when the UK carried out naval trade with China and Chinese sailors first established residence in London.
And then in the 19th Century the Chinese communities began to expand in other port cities such as Liverpool and Cardiff.
The 1950’s saw the opening of a number of family-run Chinese restaurants and takeaways and with the invention of washing machines, many of the first Chinese settlers set up laundries.
