Chinese Chars In XML

I am having a probem with asp, xml, com while using chinese chars. The chinese letters come out of com fine and they are also fine when i use asp to write to a text file.
When i load the chinese chars into an xml dom they become invalid Chinese chars show as this æˆ'çš,,模æ?¿. but when i doa xsl translation then some of the chinese chars are displayed and some are shown as garbage chars. My ASP Page has the following headers

<%@Language=VBScript CodePage="65001"%>

<%
Response.CharSet = "UTF-8"
Response.ContentType = "text/html"
%>

My XSL has the following header <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> ..
