Should I use simply "Chinese"? Or "Chinaman"? All three get widely used in the UK, I don't know about other countries. For fuck's sake people, what's wrong with you all? I'm gonna start negging people for inappropriate use of apostophes. Dude, Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

But you're right to point out that "Chinaman" is not the correct term to describe someone from China. It's the correct term to describe the stock delivery of a left-arm "unorthodox" spin bowler. Hope everything's clear now.
