Chinese-Cubans play mah-jong in a community center. At its height, the ethnic Chinese population in Cuba was about 40,000. There were three Chinese movie theaters, independent businesses, a bank, a theater that contracted Chinese performers and three Chinese newspapers, one of which still publishes today and celebrated its 80th anniversary last year.
