A few years ago our driver suggested we stopped at the "China man store" in Hopewell. Used to be owned by some of the Chin family so I guess the "China man" tag is still used by some of the locals. Their prices were very competitive with Mega Mart / HI LO and they exchanged money at a competitive rate also.

Most of the Jamaicans around here use the term China man, Chiney, Indian, White man, Browning (is used less frequently) all very freely. But, having said that...I just read an article in the Jamaica Observer where a Jamaican gentleman of Chinese descent was complaining of being called China man or Chiney.
Times are changing...even here.
