I read the following in a book written by a non-native speaker:
1. She is Chinese. She comes from Beijing. (Incorrect)
2. She is a Chinese. She comes from Beijing. (correct)
The writer said that 'Chinese is an countable noun, it should be preceded by an article.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think both of the above sentences are correct because 'Chinese' is an adjective in the sentence 1. Am I right?
