Chinese really has no adjectives?

At the risk of repeating myself, it seems that words in Chinese with are often called adjectives can be usefully, easily and consistently be split into two groups, viz., attributives and stative verbs. That's to say, the term "adjective" seems to cover English "adjectives" well, but is less useful when describing their Chinese cousins.

English doesn't have adjectives either

I don't believe I said Chinese doesn't have adjectives.
