How did the population of Christmas Island became predominately Chinese?
This is NOT a racist question. I am just curious because the founders of Christmas Island are Englishmen. Also, the whereabouts of Christmas Island is not near China whatsoever. Please and thank you.

Chinese labourers provided most of the manual labour during the early phase of mining on Christmas Island, although later Singapore and Malaya became increasingly important sources of indentured labourers. The buildings in the Malay Kampong area collectively represent the cultural diversity of this group and their endeavours to keep their religious laws and traditions.
