--explanation--

我是中国人 (wǒ shì zhōng guó rén) uses the structure 我是 (wǒ shì) + nationality to state where someone is from.

我是 (wǒ shì) means "I am...". A nationality is formed by adding 人 (rén), meaning "person", to the country name.

中国 (zhōng guó) means "China", so 中国人 (zhōng guó rén) means a person from China.

Therefore, Wang Hua is saying she is Chinese.
