If it not is a 3G mobile it would work finel with only a new sim card. However you migh not be able to read or send Chinese SMS messages. But pethaps you do not understand Cinese messages anyhow.

Well, you might still consider to get a cheap chinese mobile phone too.
It's more than convenient if people can sms you for example an address in a form that the normal taxidrivers can understand. That does'n work with a foreign phone.
As far as I have seen by now Siemens display dots and Nokia squares for every chinese character
