Answer

It's about the perspective of the person asking.

If someone asks when you'll "go back to" - you're going away from them to a place.  If they ask when you'll "come back to" - you're coming to the place where they are ("back" where you've been before).

1) -(you're at home) When will you go back to work?
1.1) -(you're at work, and you're leaving) When will you come back to work?

2) -(you're in England, someone says) When will you go back to China?
3) -(you're talking on the phone to someone in China, that person asks) When will you come back to China?
