The ruby command has no problem with chinese but you need a font which 
has support for it.
As can be seen in my previous example you can use the style-key to 
switch to a different font
for the annotation (e.g. \setupruby[style=\pinyinfont]).

%%%% begin example
\definefallbackfamily [documentfont] [rm] [Noto Serif CJK SC] 
[preset=range:chinese]
\definefallbackfamily [documentfont] [ss] [Noto Sans CJK SC] 
[preset=range:chinese]
\definefallbackfamily [documentfont] [tt] [Noto Sans Mono CJK SC] 
[preset=range:chinese]

\definefontfamily [documentfont] [rm] [Noto Serif]
\definefontfamily [documentfont] [ss] [Noto Sans]
\definefontfamily [documentfont] [tt] [Noto Sans Mono]

\setupbodyfont [documentfont]

\setupruby[color=darkgray]

\starttext
\ruby{寖備}{jìn bèi} \ss \ruby{寖備}{jìn bèi} \tt \ruby{寖備}{jìn bèi}
\stoptext
%%%% end example
