In Chinese, the term for "cloud seeding" is 人工增雨 (rénggōng zēngyǔ). The breakdown of this Chinese term is:

人工 (rénggōng) - artificial, man-made
增雨 (zēngyǔ) - to increase rainfall

So the full term 人工增雨 (rénggōng zēngyǔ) translates to "artificial rainfall enhancement" or "cloud seeding". This is the standard Chinese language term used to refer to the process of dispersing substances (such as silver iodide) into clouds to induce precipitation. It is the equivalent of the English term "cloud seeding".
