Mongoloid is the race.
Chinese nor Asian is a race.
Chinese is the nationality. Asian is an adjective to describe people from the continent of Asia e.g. Eurasians from Afghanistan, Caucasians from Iran, Austro-Mongoloids from southeast asia or Mongoloids from China, Japan or Korea.

Asian is the race and Chinese is a nationality/ethnicity. Although, Chinese can be broken down into further ethnic groups.
i.e. I'm Chinese-American because my parents were born in China, but I was born in the U.S. so my nationality is American and my ethnicity is Han Chinese.
