I don't know anything about Chinese support in general. But with Emacs, it was very easy. I compiled and installed Emacs and I also installed some Chinese fonts. (The GNU intlfonts package, available from ftp.gnu.org, is a good starting point.) Then I typed M-x view-hello-file RET. This showed me some Chinese (and Japanese, and Korean) characters. If you see empty boxes instead of the Chinese characters, then some fonts are missing. Then I typed C-\ chinese-py RET to select a Pinyin input method. Then I typed nihao and saw two Chinese characters. -- file-error; Data: (Opening input file no such file or directory ~/.signature)
