I enclose it in Chinese (the address)
I think the person writing the letter and expecting an answer to be sent to the address in Ximen, China, knows that it is advisable to have the address in chinese characters as well.
I wouldn't expect all Chinese postmen to read western characters.
Unfortunately the note with Chinese characters is not enclosed. If it was sent by E-mail, it is possible, that "check" refers to "check if it is there".
As we don't know if you were translating this for a client or what other purpose you have the letter for, we are just guessing.

I enclose it's chinese [something]
I think there is simply a word missing. As I read it, the "it's" refers back to the chap's "present contact in Ximen (sic)". If the next lines are a full address, I might guess that "address" is the missing word (or even "contact information"), although I'm not quite sure why the recipient would be asked to "pls check" it.

N.B.: This assumes, of course, incorrect apostrophe use (it's rather than its), but that is not uncommon even among native speakers.

: Probably, after the English address, the same is also written in Chinese, and the letter writer is requesting to check if it is correct.

I enclose xxx (document?) - it's in Chinese!
That's what I think it must mean.

This wine is Chinese
**This Wine that I am enclosing here with,is Chinese.
**This is a letter accompanying the Sample Wine, that the writer is
sending to a Wine Supplier/manufacturer.
**The writer is asking the addressee to check (taste) the Wine, to
confirm that it is Chinese. And is asking for same quality.
And he/she is looking forward to doing business, by buying in bulk
both Red and White Wine.
That is my understanding, from being in Footwear business for over 12 years. Sending samples of footwear styles that I need, and in what color and how much I intend to buy.
Regards.

dusty, that's a good idea :)
If this is talking about a 'contact', maybe this is a mistake for "s/he's Chinese", though I certainly can't quite see where the 'enclose / check' comes in, unless something was MEANT to have been enclosed, but omitted!
