The person who said 10 minutes is way off. It will be double that (maybe more) from 42nd street depending on how many people are in the city that day.
To get Chinatown, catch the N/R/W/Q line (south east corner of the park) to canal street (the are faster ways, but they are a little more tricky and would only save you 5 minutes or so)

If you are asking if you can walk from Times Square to Central Park, the answer is yes. It's about 17 blocks and should take you about 10 min (.85 miles).
The other question you asked: Central Park to China Town is a bit far. You're better off taking the subway. Take the 1/9 at Columbus Circle station to Canal Street. It should take you about a half hour to get there.

Times Square is 42nd Street and Broadway and 7th Ave, Central Park Starts at 59th Street.
If you take your time and peek at things along the way, A walk up Broadway will be about 20-30 Min.
If you want to get to ChinaTown from there, do something different than the subway... from Columbus Circle (59th Street & Broadway & 8th Ave/Central Park West , The South West Corner of Central Park) Get on the M20 Bus Downtown for an intresting 25 Min Ride down Broadway&7th Ave to Canal Street. ($2.00).

Yeah its about 13 blocks. Not that far. i would say 35-40 min. walk from Time sqaure to Central park. However that is going from south to north. China town is all the way south of the island. You would need to take a cab or the subway. The subway is only $2. you can take the 1,2,3, or the A train. from Colubus circle which is right at the start of Central park

As others have explained, you can definitely walk from Times Square to Central Park. Unless you REALLY want the workout, forget trying to walk from Central Park to Chinatown since that is about 5 miles or so.

Times Square to/from Central Park is walkable. However, I wouldn't want to go from either all the way to China Town.
Times Square & Central park are roughly in the middle of Manhattan. China Town is way down at the bottom.
I highly recommend taking the subway.

I have walked from Canal to 42nd street in just over an hour. That was a leisurely walk. Times Sq. to Central Park about 20 minutes.

I have walked from the end of Manhattan to Chinatown. It took a good 20 minutes. It is best if you take the B or D train to Chinatown because it takes you to the center of Chinatown where the best part is.
