If you suffix '-sque" to "Chinese", I'd tend to agree, though it is a
function of size (e.g the town in which I grew up had NO ethnic restaurants
if you exclude local fare).
I housed a Danish exchange student for 3 months in 1986, and he was suprised
when we went out for Chinese that we actually had Chinese dishes - seems at
that time in his home locale, "Chinese" meant "served with rice."
