Start by doing an exact search here for "Chinese", I just did and got 154 matches - you're not the first person to have this question.

Basically you need to ascertain what kind of characters they are (Traditional or Simplified) and then how they are encoded. Set the NLS map appropriately for that encoding in the Sequential File stage (and make sure that the Unicode extension is set for string data types).
