You need SCIM. https://packages.debian.org/stable/scim With SCIM pinyin https://packages.debian.org/jessie/scim-pinyin and you till need a suitable font installed. SCIM works very well for Japanese and makes changing languages/scripts very easy. I haven't tried it for Chinese, but at least Chinese has fewer scripts!
