We don't use an article before meal time: "We are having dinner."

The correct sentence is “The Chinese are more conservative than the English” because “the” is used before adjectives like "Chinese" and "English" to refer to entire national or ethnic groups. In English grammar, when an adjective stands for a group of people, it must be preceded by “the” to form a collective noun. Without “the,” the sentence sounds incomplete and incorrect. For example, we say “the French,” “the elderly,” or “the rich” when referring to people as a whole. Thus, both “the Chinese” and “the English” are necessary to make the comparison grammatically accurate and complete.
