To make something Chinese in style, character, or appearance, or to process/treat something according to Chinese methods.
Verb formed from 'China' + '-fy' (a suffix meaning 'to make' or 'to cause to become,' as in 'simplify,' 'clarify'). This is a productive suffix for creating verbs from nouns or adjectives.
The '-fy' suffix is sneakily powerful—you can 'chinafy' something, 'beautify' something, or even newly 'Americanize' something, and everyone understands the transformation you're describing.
