No, it isn't mandatory for your brother's Chinese fiance to convert in order for them to be married in the Catholic Church. However, they will need to speak with a priest to get dispensation. Basically, this means getting permission to marry a non-Catholic.
There may be other circumstances that will need to be discussed with his priest, for example is this her first marriage, is she baptized, and is she willing to have their children raised in the Catholic faith.
