No, China does not need to back the futures. that is the business between buyer and seller. Buyer and seller must have a future account, where they put collaterals equaling to the worth of the contracts they signed.
Not sure how they work in Germany (Assume this is where you work) and how the Chinese Future market, in the US, the Security Settlement is backed by Federal bank virtually in all transaction using Fedwire *** per Dodd-Frank act.
In Commodity Market, (such as New York Mercantile Exchange), the government regulate NYMEX with Commodity Future Trading Commission where their job is to maintain the financial integrity of a clearing process, and each company who trade in NYMEX would require to use Fedwire to settle their account if the settlement is over CFTC recommendation (Which over 90% of all trade and 423 trillions dollars of trade per year), in which Federal Bank will guarantee each transaction via Fedwire so the settlement is protected from abusing practices, fraud and manipulation.
I would think even US have this regulation body, China, which are even have closer control of their financial market would have equal or somewhat tighter regime.
