I think this is valid, non-latin characters can be used in URLs via the internationalised domain name standard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name (they should get converted to a latin encoding by the browser, so we might need browser changes for this as well, haven't checked yet what's implemented there). Plus the browser URL bar works as a search bar, so it should be possible for people to search for things in Chinese.
