thank you. I am trying to get some usable OpenType Chinese font for ConTeXt 
on GNU/Linux.

Cheers,
Hong

I use \usetypescriptfile[mscore], which means using the font
configuration that comes with ConTeXt,
which is suitable for Windows systems. For details, see the
installation file type-imp-mscore.mkiv.
If you set the body font, both OpenType and TrueType are OK.

I'm curious what Chinese font(s) you are using with ConTeXt?  Are they OpenType font,
or TrueType?

This is a preliminary solution for inserting spaces between Chinese

\showglyphs

\startluacode

local glyph_id = nodes.nodecodes.glyph --node.id("glyph")
local node_insertbefore = node.insertbefore
local node_insertafter = node.insertafter
local node_new = node.new
local tex_sp = tex.sp

local function ischinesechar(c)
    -- for more ranges:
    -- https://wiki.contextgarden.net/List_of_Unicode_blocks
    return (c >= 0x04E00 and c <= 0x09FFF)
        or (c >= 0x03400 and c <= 0x04DBF)
        or (c >= 0x20000 and c <= 0x2A6DF)
end

function Thirddata.processmystuff(head)
    local n = head
    while n do
        if n.id == glyph_id and ischinesechar(n.char) then

            local n_prev = n.prev
            if n_prev
                and n_prev.id == glyph_id
                and not ischinesechar(n_prev.char)
                then
            local glue = node_new("glue")
            glue.width = tex_sp("0.25em")
            glue.stretch = tex_sp("0.25em")
            print("insert space before:", utf8.char(n.char))
            head, glue = node_insertbefore(head, n, glue)
            end

            local n_next = n.next
            if n_next
                and n_next.id == glyph_id
                and not ischinesechar(n_next.char)
                then

            glue.stretch = tex_sp("0.25em")

            head, glue = node_insertafter(head, n, glue)
            n = glue.next
            end
        end
        n = n.next
    end
