Nationals. The word you are looking for is nationals.

I am not. I am referring to the Chinese race. Their nationality could be Taiwanese or even Malaysian and the result is the same.
Then the word you're looking for is likely Han, Chinese is only a nationality, not an ethnicity.
I dug a little into this because I was curious who was more correct here.
From wikipedia, which links to what seems like a relatively reliable source:
> The Singapore Department of Statistics broadly defines "Chinese" as a "race" or "ethnic group", in conjunction with "Malay, Indian and Others" under the CMIO model.[10] They consist of "persons of Chinese origin" such as the Hokkiens, Teochews, Hainanese, Cantonese, Hakka, Henghuas, Hokchias/Foochows, Shanghainese and Northern Chinese, etc."[11]
So I would, on the balance of things, think that kccqzy meant what they said, and was pretty correct about it.
