You said you will be in U.S. in 2008 as intern. Intern does not mean researcher and you can not get benefit as researcher.
Then you will be in U.S. in 2009 as researcher. As per treaty with China, a researcher does not pay income tax for 3-years. But your visit to U.S. in 2008 will reduce it to 2-years or to 0-years. Read about the tax treaty: Your U.S. Tax Return: U.S. Tax Treaties for Professors, Teachers and Researchers
Hope it helps!
