Chinese means 中国人, so you havn't add '的'. Chinese people also means 中国人, no '的'.
that girl can speak in English?
maybe you can make a friend with her. talk to her ,inviter her and her friends to dinner.
if that girl thinks you're not bad, she will go to the dinner,and then maybe you can be friends.
after that maybe you can have a date. but you have to remember do not force her.
Be nice and polite to her!!!!!!
