Hi,
In GUI_UPLOAD function module there is an import parameter "CODEPAGE" , here if you pass the code page for chinese character then you will be able to view the chinese character after uploading the excel sheet and storing it in the internal table.
Specify the code page parameter explicitly (in case the files are to be read or written in a specific code page).By default the codepage of the Operating system is picked up if nothing is specified. Sample code as follows:
Data : fend_filename type string ,
  p_rcpage type abap_encoding.
call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'
     exporting
       filename                      = fend_filename
       filetype                        = 'ASC'
*      HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR           = ' '
*      HEADER_LENGTH                 = 0
       read_by_line                  = 'X'
*      DAT_MODE                      = ' '
       codepage                      = p_rcpage
   *      IGNORE_CERR                   =  ABAP_TRUE
*      REPLACEMENT                   = '#'
*    IMPORTING
*      FILELENGTH                    =
*      HEADER                        =
     tables
       data_tab                      = itab.
     ret_code = sy-subrc.
I am not so sure but If it is set to Chinese, it uses code page 4102 (Unicode). Else find the corresponding code page using FM NLS_GET_FRONTEND_CP.
Hope this helps.
