Do China passport holders need a visa to visit HT?

Chinese ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for short tourist visits to Haiti. China is not on Haiti's short list of visa-required nationalities, so Chinese citizens are granted visa-free entry for up to 3 months. A flat US$10 tourist fee is collected from all non-Haitian travelers on arrival. Haiti maintains a broadly liberal entry policy: only nine nationalities (Dominican Republic, Panama, Colombia, Cuba, Syria, Libya, Iran, Vietnam and Yemen) must obtain a visa before travel. Every other nationality, including holders of the People's Republic of China ordinary passport, may enter visa-free for tourism and is granted a stay of up to 3 months. There is no pre-arranged visa, no eVisa and no formal visa-on-arrival sticker process for Chinese tourists; entry is simply granted at the port of arrival. The only universal charge is a US$10 tourist fee levied on all non-Haitian passport holders at the airport on arrival. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry and should have at least two blank pages. Note that this is a pure entry-policy assessment: Haiti is subject to serious security and civil-unrest concerns and is under do-not-travel advisories from many governments, so the visa-free status should not be read as a travel recommendation. Travelers should reconfirm both entry rules and safety conditions with their airline and the nearest Haitian diplomatic mission before departure, as the security situation has at times affected airport operations.
