Chinese isn't the name of a language - Mandarin is the most widely common language in the Sino-Tibetan group. There are approximately 885 million first language speakers of Mandarin, but even Mandarin has dialects, so there exists a Standard Mandarin. The rest of China, and even some Mandarin natives, speaks different Chinese languages.
