It's genes and diet. The Chinese just tend to have smaller builds. Plus, their food isn't very fatty. I think they're also generally born with fast metabolisms. I'm only 1/8 Chinese, and my metabolism is crazy; I'm trying to gain weight.

Not all Chinese are slim and healthy. Now-a-days many Chinese children are just the opposite because of the limitation on numbers of children. Many children are spoiled and overfed, leading them to become overweight (it was on Oprah). In America it is not always so also (while many are still thin, many are not). But, most do not eat meat or any cow products (milk) and that has a lot to do with it as well.

Perhaps because Chinese are not in to french fries and soda as much as some other races.

Food and physical activity. Fat Americans eat too much and the wrong kinds of food, and get little exercise, if any.
