There isn't really a relatively neutral term to refer to Chinese individuals the way "laowai" is used in Chinese-speaking societies to refer to (generally, Western) foreigners. There are certainly derogatory terms that I will not repeat here. However, given today's hypersensitive politically correct environment, there is no neutral way to call a Chinese person other than "Chinese" or "Asian." Remember, even a word like "Oriental" is now considered racist in polite American society today.

Wow. Didn't know 老中 is out there. I don't think there's a currently used slang for it in English though. We'd either just say Chinese or (generalizing) Asian. If it's about Chinese internet users, one can say "Chinese netizens".

They are correct we are so polite in england. Years ago my wushu laoshi had t shirts with hong kong fuey on them i did not no what it meant
