There are special Chinese macro packages especially for LaTeX (zwtex
is an example, IIRC).  Since the documentation is primarily in Chinese
-- and my Chinese is rudimentary only -- I haven't further
investigated how to use it.

What exactly do you mean?  You might try the development version from
cjk.ffii.org which will eventually become version 4.5.3 soon, I hope.

Have a look at the JIS.tex example file:

  \begin{CJK*}[dnp]{JIS}{min}

This is JIS input encoding for fonts with DNP font encoding, using
font family `min' (this uses the c42min.fd font definition file).

If you want to use the cjk-enc.el file, look at the CJKbabel.tex
example file:

  \CJKfontenc{JIS}{dnp}
  \CJKencfamily[dnp]{JIS}{min}

The first command sets DNP font encoding as the default for Japanese,
and the second command selects the `min' font as the default font for
Japanese in DNP font encoding.

This was never the intention.  CJK-LaTeX is primarily a means to write
documents in a western language (or any other script like Cyrillic
which is supported `natively' within LaTeX) which contains CJK snippets.
