In its sense related to the orientation of stage lighting's barn doors, a reference to a supposed resemblance to East Asian eyes.

Meanings

(not-comparable, usually) Of, from, or related to China, particularly now the People's Republic of China.
- China has been ruled by the Chinese Communist Party since 1949.
- In this instance, when the Chairman of the "Accuracy in Media" spoke out strongly against the Chinese Communist system of "pin yin" spelling, he was not criticizing any bias or unreliability of news presentation but specifically the inconvenience and confusion caused by the "pin yin" spelling of Chinese names. 1980 November 30, “Communist China's 'Pin Yin' system causes confusion among foreigners”, in Free China Weekly, volume XXI, number 47, Taipei, page 1:
- Experts told CNN it could take weeks to address the vulnerabilities and that suspected Chinese hackers are already attempting to exploit it. 2021 December 13, Sean Lyngaas, “US warns hundreds of millions of devices at risk from newly revealed software vulnerability”, in CNN:
(not-comparable, usually) Of, from, or related to the people of China, particularly the Han Chinese and their culture whether in China or overseas.
- Important Chinese holidays celebrated around the world include the Chinese New Year ("Spring Festival"), Tomb Sweeping Day, and the Mid-Autumn Festival.
- In the early 1870’s anti-Chinese agitation in California became organized and focused under the leadership of Denis Kearney, who was, ironically, an immigrant from Ireland. A campaign of organized violence against Chinese communities took form, and the hysteria led to political pressure too violent to be resisted. President Hayes vetoed an act of Congress restricting Chinese immigration, but he did force renegotiation of the Burlingame Treaty under which the government of China agreed to restrict emigration voluntarily. 1964, John F. Kennedy, A Nation of Immigrants, Revised and Enlarged edition, Harper & Row, →LCCN, →OCLC, pages 72–73:
(not-comparable, usually) Of, from, or related to a language native to Han Chinese persons, often used generally of Chinese characters or particularly to refer to Standard Mandarin.
- The construction of a verbal system which is fairly regular and at the same time based on existing languages is a most difficult task, because in no other domain of the grammar do languages retain a greater number of ancient irregularities and differ more fundamentally from one another. Still an attempt will be made here to conciliate the two points of view and to bring about something which resembles the simple Chinese grammar without, however, losing its European character or the power of expressing nuances to which we are accustomed in our own languages. 1928, Otto Jespersen, An International Language, page 82:
- There are four Chinese tones... five, if you count the neutral one.
- The DPRK (Joseon Minjujui Inmin Konghuaguk 朝鮮民主主義人民共和國) is read in Chinese as Chaoxian minzhu zhuyi renmin gonghe guo, and its capital, Pyeonyang, is pronounced Pingrang 平壤. 2012, Endymion Wilkinson, “Introduction”, in Chinese History: A New Manual, 3rd revised edition, Harvard University Press, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 14:
(not-comparable, offensive, sometimes, usually) As exotic, unusual, backwards, or unorganized as someone or something from China.
- It's all Chinese to me.
(in set phrases, not-comparable, offensive, sometimes, usually) Used with a noun to indicate a referent different from, and seemingly more exotic or unusual than, the base noun's referent.
- Chinese apple, Chinese checkers, Chinese snooker
(dated, not-comparable, of film and video lighting, offensive, usually) Having barn doors with a horizontal orientation.
