China vs. Chinese

Hi all.

There's an article on CNN website today, which entitles
"China bank lending: A bubble in the making?"

In the first part of the title, LENDING works as a noun, right?

So,
1. Should I consider CHINA as an adjective?
And, why is it CHINA, instead of CHINESE?
2. Should I consider BANK as an adjective, too?

(Besides answering my questions, if you could correct my writing, I'd also appreciate it a lot.)

Your original question was about the title of a story, that is a headline. Don't let headlines confuse you. Headlines have their own "grammar" and style that is quite differ

Another possibility: China bank could be the name of the bank itself...

No. Bank would be capitalized in that case.
