consumer brand XXX adds to life in China
Michael's response is one possibility (using examples when presenting content makes it come alive)
due to the 2nd part of your sentence, I would say that another option might be:
our consumer brand XXX adds to life in China
however, not knowing what they manufacture makes it difficult to be specific
videos?
games?
books?
magazines?
does any of that fit?

Suppose the (I assume) Chinese author of this phrase means "We bring contentment to life with ..."? I've seen worse translations in my time, and it's the sort of thing that a mobile phone company might use as a marketing message.
If it's not a mistake and they really do mean "content" (noun), perhaps what they are trying to say is "We bring meaning to life ..."
Just grasping at (Chinese) straws really...
