Early Life & Education

María Eugenia Suárez, widely known as “China” Suárez, was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on March 9, 1992. Raised in the vibrant capital, she grew up in a culturally rich environment that nurtured her artistic passion.

Of Spanish and Japanese descent, her maternal grandmother’s heritage influenced her distinctive features and the affectionate nickname “China,” commonly used in Argentina for individuals with East Asian ancestry.

While Suárez keeps details about her religious beliefs private, she focuses public attention on her career and family. Born to Guillermo Suárez and Marcela Riveiro, little is known about their professions, as she rarely discusses them in depth. She shares a close bond with her older brother, Agustín Suárez, who has largely remained out of the public eye.

Suárez attended school in Buenos Aires, but her education took a backseat when she began her acting career at just 11 years old. Her debut in the 2003 television series Rincón de Luz marked the beginning of a career built on hands-on experience rather than traditional schooling.

Career

María Eugenia Suárez, widely known as China Suárez, has built a remarkable career in the Argentine entertainment industry as an actress, singer, and model, starting at an exceptionally young age.

She made her acting debut in 2003 at just 11 years old in Rincón de Luz, a children’s telenovela created by Cris Morena. This early role introduced her to television and set the foundation for her rise to fame.

Her breakthrough came in 2007 when she was cast as Jazmín “Jaz” Romero in Casi Ángeles, another Cris Morena production that aired until 2010. The teen drama became a cultural sensation in Argentina, and Suárez’s performance resonated with a wide audience.

The show also launched her music career as a member of Teen Angels, the pop group formed by the cast. Alongside co-stars like Lali Espósito and Peter Lanzani, she toured extensively across Argentina, Latin America, and Spain, releasing multiple successful albums until the group disbanded in 2012.

Expanding her acting career, Suárez took on roles in popular telenovelas such as Amor Mío (2005) and Solamente Vos (2013), showcasing her versatility in both comedic and dramatic performances.

Her transition to film marked a pivotal moment, particularly with her lead role in Abzurdah (2015), where she portrayed a troubled teenager in the adaptation of Cielo Latini’s memoir. The role earned her critical acclaim and the Premio Sur for Best New Actress, solidifying her reputation as a serious performer.

Beyond acting and music, Suárez has built a successful modeling career, appearing in numerous fashion campaigns and magazine covers in Argentina. She has also starred in films like Los Padecientes (2017) and expanded into international projects, including the 2018 Peruvian-Argentine comedy Sangre en la Boca.
