Garuda seems not to have an Input Method Module by default. Through the KDE System Settings > Keyboard > Configure layouts it won't work setting up chinese and neither japanese IMEs.
I read the Arch Wiki and installed these Fcitx5 packages:
fcitx5
fcitx5-chewing
fcitx5-chinese-addons
fcitx5-configtool
fcitx5-gtk
fcitx5-qt
fcitx5-table-extra
fcitx5-table-other
And I've added the entry on /etc/environment/
GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
This is the log from fcitx5-diagnose:
