In Spanish Chino is not a derogatory term--in fact, it is often a nickname or term of affection (a little teasing even) for someone Asian or someone with Asian features. I suppose you could take it badly but it is certainly not meant that way.

Guess not since even the former president of Peru, Alberto Fujimori, was called "el Chino" by his people though he is of Japanese-descent.

It could be, if you don't like being called Chinese, but other than that it is not.
