Its pretty basic. See the Lure of the Boom article in this site

If you are in China, you just have to get your name in front of as many people as you. Go to every networking meeting. Develop a wide circle of friends who run in different circles and communicate often.

If you are out of China, you will need to find out what kind of companies are hiring expat managers. Make you info available to every recruiter, headhunter, and job board.

Its not easy and especially expat jobs do not come easy, but I know of people who have done it.
