If you're getting errors, then the encoding specified in the XML
document type declaration doesn't patch what you've pasted in.  It
matters where these Chinese characters come from, since they're going to
be a part of some encoding and you haven't said what it was; if your
document is UTF-8, you need to paste UTF-8 in.
