Asian Peruvians, primarily referring to those of Chinese and Japanese descent. Around 36,000 constitute some 0.16% of Peru's population as per the 2017 Census in Peru.[2] In the 2017 Census in Peru, only 14,223 people self-reported tusán or Chinese ancestry, while only 22,534 people self-reported nikkei or Japanese ancestry.[3] However, according to the 2009 census, it was estimated that 5% (or 1.2 million) of the 29 million Peruvians in 2009 had Chinese roots and ancestry,[4][5] while 160,000 Peruvians in 2015 had Japanese roots and ancestry.[6][7][8] Today it is believed that the Asian population in Peru would be from 3 to 10% of the population.
