Be careful. There is little or no freedom of religion in China.
The neighborhood Catholic Churches in China are under the authority of the Chinese government, not the Pope.
The Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association is a division of the People's Republic of China's Religious Affairs Bureau to exercise state supervision over mainland China's Catholics. The Communist Party of China wants no organization in mainland China owing allegiance to "foreign influence", in this case, every other Catholic on the planet including the Pope.
Ever since it's creation in the 1950's, the Catholic Church has deplored the attitude and activities of the Association and declared the bishops who participated in consecrating new bishops selected by the Association to be excommunicated.
It is estimated that there are 13 million Catholics in China, 8 million following the underground church still loyal to Rome and 5 million following the officially sanctioned Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association.
With love in Christ.

I sincerely doubt there are any real Catholic masses in China. If you cannot find one, I would recommend reading the mass and praying your rosary. :)
