Exactly and Asia do not belong to Chinese, But majority of the people in Asia do have Mongoloid features.
Chinese means Mongoloids as the latter includes the former within its fold. Just like how Indo Europeans/Aryans/Caucasoids mean Cro Magnons as the latter includes the former within its fold.
During the Han Dynasty, the Mongoloid Hans didn't refer to themselves as Chinese (which is a modern Western term originated from Qin).
The name "China" means 'dishes, plates made from porcelain'. The English used to trade and import these from Qing dynasty in the 18th century. Probably, that's origin of the country's name.
The word China is etymologically of foreign origin. We don't know how the Mongoloid Hans of the past were called by other races. In Mahabharata, Bhima addressed a Chinese king of the Gangetic valley by the name of Dhautamulaka in Sanskrit. But Dhautamulaka might not have been his real name in his own language.
Arabs could not pronounce S and used H for S. Thus they called the Sindhu as Hindu.
However, there are three races of mankind: Caucasoid, Mongoloid and Negroid.
This is what Joseph Arthur Comte de Gobineau observed.
I will discuss why and how the original Finnish of Finland (most of them were cleansed ethnically during the World Wars and so very few of them still remain) were actually Chinese in origin afterwards.
