The Chinese people of the Territory came originally from the Kwantang Province of South-east China. They came as worker immigrants in the German regime before 1914. After 1930, trade stores were established mostly by the Chinese, that catered for New Guinean needs rather than those of the Europeans. The Chinese presence created a buffer zone between the Europeans and New Guineans and furthermore established Chinatown settlements.
