I do Chinese documents using xelatex, and it works just fine (with the
xeCJK package). I make a "mychinesestylefile.sty" file with all my
xelatex and Chinese font stuff. Then:

(eval-after-load 'ox-latex
  '(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
      '("myclass" "\\documentclass{article}
[NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
[NO-PACKAGES]
[EXTRA]
\\usepackage{mychinesestylefile}"
	("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
	("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
	("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")
	("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}")
	("\\subparagraph{%s}" . "\\subparagraph*{%s}"))))

And then in any given document:

#+LaTeX_CLASS: myclass

If I need to layer another project-specific style file on top of that, I
add a second line in the header:

#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{someparticularpackage}

Any document that might require Chinese starts as a "myclass", and then
goes from there. I set this up a year ago, and haven't needed to mess
with it since.

Hope that helps,
Eric
