In Chinese, you don't say anything in response to a sneeze.

bi'u

Before I really knew what 'bless you' and 'gesundheit' were really
expressing (that i'm wishing they were healthier), I just thought it was a
polite way of acknowledging a sneeze occured. Maybe one translation could be
{ senci } (Sneeze).

bi'unai

If a Chinese person hears { ko kanro }, I imagine they'd call malglico (or
rather, malropno) foul.

One similar situation might be for the english expression "Brrr," for which
(likewise) there is no Chinese equivalent. One translation of 'brr' into
lojban that might make sense to a Chinese speaker is { lenku } (Cold).
