RaiMan proposed the following answer:
SikuliX inside uses Tesseract.

This approach needs the latest 1.1.0 (no chance with earlier versions).

Step 1:
So if you want to use the SikuliX text feature in a serious way with chinese text, you have to first install Tesseract on your system, so you can use Tesseract standalone from command line.
After installation you have to try with the different language packages Tesseract offers.

Step 2:
If you succeed to read text from images in a sufficient way, then you have to copy the tessdata folder content to the SikulixTesseract folder and tell SikuliX to use this language pack for text reading.

If you decide, to go this way, then come back with the relevant information, after you have completed step1.
I will help you then, to get on the road with step2.
