If this is the same genus as I think, this would be a female.

I think there is a good chance that this little spider is from Genus Cyclosa. We call them Trashline Orbweavers here. I am not familiar with Asian species so I can't help you much more than that. Here is one from my area (New York): http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/12370879
