I searched Chinese website, didn't find anything.
My own opinion, they are just mostly homo sapiens, of course not 100%. But we are not 100% either. At least, majority Chinese (including me) have gene from Neanderthals AND Denisova hominin. So they are not that far.
I have a story here to support my opinion. A real one.
Not long ago, in a Chinese village, villagers reported their home-fed chicken had been stolen, or heads were stripped off and blood sucked out. So they made a trap to catch this thing and they finally did. They couldn't identify the creature, so contacted government and scientists. The scientists, of course excited, BUT couldn't visually identify the creature, but after serious observation on it, then finally claim, this is nothing but a MAN, like you and me, maybe a "hermit" if my English is correct. But it covered with inches long hair all over the body.
This wild man can't speak. Only after people get him shaved and washed clean the secret revealed. One of the villager said, hey, he look like a relative to a man who lost his son years ago. This guess was finally proved to be true.
This wild man is a villager's son. The father and son went into the mountains together when the son was 5 years old. The little boy saw a beautiful butterfly and went chasing without daddy's permission, then fell into a stone crack/slot. His dad and another 200 villagers searched area couldn't find him, so his dad just believed his son was taken by a wolf and lost hope. The boy however, fell into a cave without an easy way out. He later on remembered, he lied down and cried for several days, and extremely hungry, got up, start searching around. There were a stream, with very clean water constantly, and rats in the caves. He survived on them, even though he recalled he sometimes would have to eat soils when no rat.
He said when he looked up, he could only see a long thin slot of the sky telling him day and night. And every winter, the stream became foggy that he knew another year passed. He was trapped and lived in this cave for 8 years. When body gradually grew taller and stronger, he build a stone pile and finally got out. He said during living in the case, his body grew LONG HAIR!
The boy once back to civilsation, was having trouble living with his parents, though after 6 months he started resuming language skill, he just couldnt help steeling others chicken and suck blood. But a zoo manager helped him (by using some animal dealing experience lol), training him eating cooked food, wearing clothes, etc. The guy now married with kids, working as an actor basically acting cave man, wild man etc. Everything back to normal except his wife may from time to time to buy raw chicken for his blood feast.
This is not a lore, it is shown in many serious media and real event. So it made me think, what if not only one boy, but a boy and a girl lost in bush like this, and many generation after, what their offsrping would look like? Body hair, skin colour, height, long arm or long legs, really does not take many generation to acquire. I guess they are predominantly homo sapiens, but maybe escaped Africa earlier than our ancestors. That is also to say, I believe they can be civilised. I mean, after some generation of training, they at least can find a job selling gifts at national park.
