We often use "CHINAMAN" in Singapore to differentiate between locals and those from China since like 60 years ago. Didn't realize some people consider that as derogative now.I'm sorry for your ignorance! in due respect you should not use the derogative term 'CHINAMAN',,,,,Chinese is the appropriate term for people from China and overeseas. Yeah now I understand, you are a Filipino!!
Even "China" is a word coined by foreigners instead of "Zhongguo".
Apparently the Chinese don't see the need to change its name to "Zhongguo" as it does with "Beijing" from "Peking"
Maybe we should not be too sensitive.
