n. Slang term for a person of han chinese descent. Short for "chinese person" particularly of han descent.
Joe: Chiners make up more than 1 billion of the world population. That is very interesting information you gave me, Charlie.
Charlie: Yeah, that's a lot, but remember that the ethnic minorities in China (the Zhuang, Miao, Uyghur, Tibetans, Koreans, Mongols, etc) aren't called chiners, only the han chinese are.
