Answer

1. I am living in China.

This suggests that it is a temporary situation. This might be said by a person who intends to move away from China, or someone who has lived in different countries and who happens to be resident in China at the moment.

2. I live in China.

This suggests that the situation is permanent, or at least long-term.
