No, but: 1.4 billion chinese eat chinese food each day. However, what is in your "chinese" food is important. It is better to have a mixed diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, low fat milk products; low in saturated fats; no tobacco, no more than one drink a day and exercise 30 minutes/day.

Can be healthy: Chinese food is often very healthy – with lots of rice, fish & vegetables (which are often steamed). But keep in mind that food choices are important. Steamed rice is lower in fat than fried rice. Some sauces are high in sodium (like soy sauce) or sugar (duck or plum sauce). Foods that are stir-fried, broiled, steamed or roasted often have less fat calories than fried foods.
