Not too hard (Score 1)

It is actually not too hard, I have been working as a programmer in China for 7 years and, although I can speak some Chinese, it has never been a must-have. In Beijing, you can try the big names or look for start-ups. Better be flexible in terms of salary of course. The big recruitment websites have English interfaces: http://www.51job.com/ http://www.chinahr.com/index.htm Look for headhunters too, and use linkedin.
