Hi,
I have read the past questions on this but there were various answers and opinions regarding the use of articles in front of "-ese" nationalities / race. :-( Can someone offer concrete explanations about these examples?

I am a Chinese. (I have heard this and assumed it as "I am a Chinese person")
I am Vietnamese.
I am a Vietnamese.
I am not a native English speaker.
Thank you,
