Get your paperwork in order first.  You can get paperwork that says your
gear belongs to you, is worth "x" amount, and you will be taking it with
you when you leave - one look at such paperwork and you'll have no
problems whatsoever at the entrance to the country.  I forget what its
called exactly - there's a funny name for such registered equipment -
but ask the Chinese consulate, thats what they are there for.  You can
explain it to them, and they should give you the needed forms for you to
get it all registered as your professional equipment that will not be
left there/re-sold, etc.
