You should be able to find a power supply which will include a voltage
converter (step up/down), with integrated phase/frequency modulated
output. 
Not sure of the exact price, but simple voltage converters can run
$20.00. For the whole 'package' described above, it might run $100, or
so. Be that as it may, its still a heck of a lot cheaper than buying
a new laptop.
We need more info though, ie where are you moving to, does China have a
single, standardized power grid and specs. I believe Japan has 2
different standard, one on the East and one on the West coast. Or maybe
thats the TV signal systems (PAL/NTSC). Singapore is probably standard
across its territory, China may have regional differences.
