    Yeh, but that's the beauty of the English language, innit?

    There aren't equivalent compound terms applicable for every case:-

    • He is Russian, so he is a Russianman? Nope
    • He is German, so he is a Germanman? Nope


    It seems that Englishman, Scotsman, Irishman, Welshman and [oddly] Frenchman are the exceptions rather than the rule.

    Also, according to the OED, there's no such word as "Chineseman", and I must say I've never heard it used before.

    "Chinaman" I've heard as a Cricketing term.

    Or on Kung-Fu with David Carradine.
