Chinese author

Mandarin-speaking literary creator

A Chinese author is a writer from China or of Chinese descent.

The phrase appears most often as a descriptor in bibliographic contexts, book reviews, or literary discussions: The novel by Chinese author Liu Cixin won the Hugo Award.

It functions as a compound modifier identifying nationality or heritage rather than a fixed lexical unit.
