China is Chuugoku or Chugoku, and Chinese language is Chugoku-go in Japanese.

A person who live in China but whose nationality is Malaysian. He is a "Chugoku ni Sumu Mareeshia-jin" in Japanese.

I think that Hue meant the opposite, i.e. Chinese living in Malaysia, as they make for about 1/3 if the population there. So I would say "chugoku no mareeshia-jin". Can you say "chuugokukei mareeshia-jin" 窶吮??ﾂ坂?佛地 ﾆ筑ﾆ椎陳ーﾆ歎ﾆ但ﾂ人 ?

I would call chinese people in Southeast Asia "窶ｰﾃ倪?ｹﾂ｡(Kakyou)".
If you want to specify the country, I would say "窶吮??ﾂ坂?佛地ﾂ≫?ｺﾂ≫?ｺﾂ人",
like Maciamo-san said.
