Here is my way of Chinese setup in ConTeXt. I hope this can be of any help to some newbies like me who have problems in processing Chinese.
# Get the truetype fonts <tt>htfs.ttf, hthei.ttf, htkai.ttf</tt> and <tt>htsong.ttf</tt> from ftp://ftp.ctex.org/pub/tex/fonts/truetype/ttf/
# Get corresponding tfm files <tt>gbfs.zip, gbhei.zip, gbkai.zip</tt> and <tt>gbsong.zip</tt> from ftp://ftp.ctex.org/pub/tex/fonts/truetype/for_pdftex/tfm/
# Get the enc file <tt>Gbk.zip</tt> from ftp://ftp.ctex.org/pub/tex/fonts/truetype/for_pdftex/enc_map/
# Get the map file <tt>map.zip</tt> from ftp://ftp.ctex.org/pub/tex/fonts/truetype/for_pdftex/enc_map/
# Put the ttf font files you got in step 1 to <tt>texmf-fonts/fonts/truetype/chinese</tt>
# Unzip the files you got in step 2 and you get four corresponding directories (which contain tfm files), then put them in <tt>texmf-fonts/fonts/tfm/chinese</tt>
# Unzip <tt>Gbk.zip</tt>, you will get a directory named <tt>Gbk</tt> which contains many enc files. Put the directory to <tt>texmf-fonts/fonts/enc/chinese</tt>
# Unzip <tt>map.zip</tt>, you will get many map files, you need just the <tt>gbk.map</tt>. You need to edit <tt>gbk.map</tt>, delete entries of gbli* at the end of the file (lines 505-629). ((sample deleted)). Then, put the modified <tt>gbk.map</tt> to <tt>texmf-fonts/fonts/map/chinese</tt>. Note that newer pdfetex don't read [[pdftex.cfg]] so better use <cmd>loadmapfile[gbk]</cmd> in your document.
# Your document should be compilable now. ((Attached is a test file from Lutz, so you can test your ConTeXt.))
# I haven't tried to compile Traditional Chinese documents. Maybe just get corresponding files for Traditional Chinese and put there to the right location will work. I'm not sure.
