Luke Ridnour, signed by the Bucks this summer, added 16 points and dished out 12 assists in the contest, the first of two preseason games in China.
Another offseason acquisition, Richard Jefferson had 13 points in the win while rookie Luc Richard Mbah a Moute contributed 12 for the Bucks (1-4).
Michael Redd, who averaged a team-high 22.7 points for Milwaukee last season, missed the game due to a sore knee.
Golden State guard Kelenna Azubuike led all scorers with 24 points and free-agent Corey Maggette, who played the last seven seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers, finished with 13 for the Warriors (2-2).
This game originally was scheduled with the hopes of showcasing China's own Yi Jianlian, but the Bucks traded the 2007 first-round draft pick to New Jersey in the Jefferson deal.
The teams will conclude their trip to the Far East on Saturday with a game in Beijing.
