of course i know they type in chinese on chinese typwriters but if they have a key for every character they have the keyboard would be huge

We type in pin-yin.
For example, me in chinese sounds like woa in english but it is written as wo in chinese pinyin.
so we type wo and all wo's pop up and we select the right wo.
Pin-yin is a english-like version of chinese where the word is expressed in alphabet form and not traditional calligrphies.
Edit: @ jdmc
FYI, we do type with english letters not chinese special keyboards.

I would hope you know they don't type in English, they type their own language with Chinese typewriters.
