First of all, for 8-bit display, "simply" make sure that your terminal or
window (e.g. cxterm) supports the same Chinese character set as the remote
host: usually either Guo Biao (GB) or Big5. Then tell C-Kermit to:
set parity none
set command bytesize 8
set terminal bytesize 8
set terminal character-set transparent
and off you go. Also make sure the remote host does not strip the 8th
bit; e.g. use a command like "stty pass8" or "stty cs8 -istrip" on a
remote UNIX system, or "set terminal /eightbit" on VMS, etc.

That's not necessarily true. The same idea applies here too. If your
terminal or display window supports the 7-bit representation for Chinese
such as HZ/B5E3 or ZW (as do some chinese DOS versions, like ZWDOS), then
C-Kermit certainly will not stand in the way.
