I am a current reservist, however, I have family that lives in China, and I would like to find out what’s the policy on visiting family in such country, let’s say for about a month or so. Obviously I will not carry anything that will reveal that I am in the United States Army, but do I need to get permission as a reservist? What do I have to do?

Along with checking with unit S2, remember your dates of travel. For security clearance renewal paperwork, you need to put down when your travel occurred.
There is also an online anti-terrorism course that many uniformed personnel must take. Check with unit S2 if you need to take that training via internet.

This is a link to the DoD's Foreign Clearance Guide (.mil email required) for military and civilian personnel which provides specific country visa and passport information, medical and immunization standards, customs inspections procedures, and State Department alerts. The site also provides specific Command Theater requirements and points of contact. But as others have stated check with your S2. Keep good records of the the where when and who. As well very smart of you to ask - I think you need to give notice 30 days prior to traveling.
