Chang is Chinese, not Japanese, far as I know.  And I do believe that 
Cho Chang is not from the UK, but likely moved there with her family. I 
also believe there are other students who are not 'pureblood' UK'ers 
there as well and even transfer students.  If Draco could have been sent 
to another country for schooling, then it stands to reason that kids 
from other countries could in fact go to Hoggwarts.  I do not think its 
an 'exclusive' school for magical kids born in the UK that bans anyone else.
