China Machado was a Chinese-born Portuguese-American fashion model, editor, and television producer.
She was born in Shanghai, China, to a Portuguese father, from Macau, who was a gold trader, and a Chinese mother, from Hong Kong. Her maternal grandmother was originally from Goa, India. China’s ethnic background has been described as “the by-product of 400 years of intermarriage between Portuguese colonials and local women in Eastern trading ports such as Goa and Macao, where her mother’s and father’s families were respectively from.”
China spoke Portuguese at home, as well as French, English, and Chinese. After WWII, her family moved to Argentina, Peru, and Spain.
China was married to businessperson and furniture exporter Riccardo Rosa, until her death. She had two children with her former husband, French-Uruguayan actor Martin LaSalle.

Ordinary is perhaps the last adjective anyone else would use to describe China Machado, born Noelie Dasouza Machado, the product of 400 years of intermarriage among Portuguese colonials and the local women in Eastern trading ports like Goa, where her maternal grandmother is from, and Hong Kong, where her Portuguese gold-trader father met her mother
