The word "Chinese" has multiple implications, just like any other words like "English" , "German" and "French"~~~ When you are in a place where majority of the public speaks Cantonese (which is a local dialect of Chinese), asking a person to "Speak Chinese" means you want that person to speak in that local dialect, i.e. Cantonese in this case! * R+ y" g9 Y1 G!

I think your interpretation of "Chinese" being just a human race is far too superficial ~~~ , y, b+ Z! A" h' D% E
