Chinaman
is seen as a derogatory term.
Except in cricket, where it as a type of delivery from a spin bowler.

is it?
what about Irishman?

Yes it is.
I don't make the rules up.
Chineseman isn't derogatory. That would equate with Englishman, Scotsman Welshman, Irishman.
A Chinaman is a left-arm slow delivery as bowled by E.E. Achong - a West Indian bowler of chinese descent.
