I've been living and working in Asia for the last six years. Getting your passport now is a really good idea because of the delays now. I would also figure out how to set up your computer with a proxy since the internet is quite restricted in China. Make sure you are using a domestic (US) bank that allows you to do everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, online. If you have any student loans that you are going to be paying, or other regular debt payments, set up automatic payments through your bank. Get a credit card for online purchases. Find out what companies (Amazon and such) will ship to that area, and the approximate cost. It helps to be prepared, especially with internet stuff.
Other than that, you should have a great time. I would bet that there will be an expat community with other English speaking folks that can help square you away. I don't expect you to be left hanging, this being a nuclear power plant project and all. As Charlatan said, you have nothing to lose, and much to gain.
