re: MGZ
Just wanted to suggest something other than a plain yellow beer, which, in my opinion, doesn't go with Chinese food at all. I don't think Sahtea is too big or busy for a craft beer enthusiast to enjoy, and I don't think it's very sweet at all. If you order Sesame Beef or Sweet and Sour Pork the food will be sweeter than the beer.

re: saeyedoc
I would definitely agree with the suggestion of Singha. I also really enjoyed Hennepin with southeast asian food. I personally don't care for Chang much, but I do enjoy Beer Lao Dark with asian food (mostly Thai/Lao food). I realize these cuisines are not Chinese, but in general the same type of beers would go well with Chinese cusine also.

It all depends on the style of the food, of course, but in general I'd agree with the lager/wit strategy. I'd expand beyond pilsners into some other lager styles, though, maybe a bock. You could also go with a saison, like Hennepin or Dupont. For cantonese style, I might break out a Hitachino Nest white. If you're having Szechuan, you might want something that would stand up to the heat and spice: a pale ale or an IPA, perhaps

I like a pilsner or wheat beer, they are both light and won't overpower a seafood or light noodle dish. You probably can't go wrong with Kirin or Sapporo, but I'll usually grab a locally made beer if there are some available (I would recommend something if you wanted to say where you are). Something like a Stiegl, Sierra Nevada Glissade, Sam Adams Noble Pils, or Three Floyd's Pride and Joy would be a good choice in my opinion.
