When you say better sources, do you mean software (download mirror) sources?

If so, you can open the administration menu and select software sources and then select a different 'Download from' location for the LinuxMint software. Then you can click on the 3rd party software tab, and consult this list: http://www.debian.org/mirror/list and edit the entry for Debian testing (it should be the first one listed). Then update to a closer url for your location. Mine is: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian

As far as changing the language, hopefully someone else can assist with that.

Read this how-to guide for installing Chinese language settings. You'll need the localization, fonts, and input method, at least. The how-to should get you at least a minimal working Chinese environment, though.

I'm not sure what you mean about sources. Please try to explain your question more fully.
