I do not know about Chinese, but Cyrillic (Russian) version is
suggested to be done in 16-bit code version. No charset specification
is required, Cyrillic text will be visible in most modern web browsers
immediately without Encoding selection.
View source of this example:

http://bratok.prison.se/cp.htm

To convert Cyrillic text to HTML to 16-bit code presentation, use the
following tool
http://russiantext.ircdb.org/ruseditE.htm
Format menu->Code conversion.
Converted text should be selected.
