Chinese Burmese, also Sino-Burmese or Tayoke (Burmese: တရုတ်), are Burmese citizens of Han Chinese ethnicity. They are a group of overseas Chinese born or raised in Myanmar (Burma).[3]
Burmese Chinese are a well established middle class ethnic group and are well represented in all upper levels of Burmese society.[4] Burmese Chinese also play a leading role in Burma's business sector and dominate the Burmese economy.[5] In addition, Burmese Chinese have a strong presence in Burma's political scene with several people such as San Yu, Khin Nyunt, and Ne Win having been major political figures.[6][7][8]
