gb2312 character set

I am trying to print some chinese characters within a static control.  The characters are in gb2312 format and are stored within a file.  The following code reads in the character but doesn't display the chinese character.

Anyone have any ideas ? I am using the win95 operating system.

     static CFont newfnt;
     CStatic* st=(CStatic*)GetDlgItem(IDC_MSG);
     
     CFont* fnt=st->GetFont();
     LOGFONT lf;

     fnt->GetLogFont(&lf);

     lf.lfCharSet=GB2312_CHARSET;
     strcpy(lf.lfFaceName ,"MS Song");

     newfnt.CreateFontIndirect(&lf);

     st->SetFont(&newfnt);

     FILE* fh;

     fh=fopen("c:\\temp\\test5.txt","rb");

     char buf[3];

     fread(buf,2,1,fh);
     
     buf[2]='\0';

     st->SetWindowText(buf);
