We have a client that does this, but the Chinese Description is stored and updated in and Access Database completely independent from Sage 100.
Basically, the Access Database has a table that holds the item Code and the Unicode Characters of the Chinese description in second field. Then we just link the Crystal form code to the Access table with a left outer join based on item code.
We did not create the Access Database table, the client did that on their own, so I'm not much help there, but we did link the crystal and put the fields on the Sage 100 form code. (I think it is either a picking sheet or a purchase order form).
