SpamAssassin has an ok_locales thing that allows you to specify basically languages you want to accept. But it has problems: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=4078
I don't believe anybody has created rules to match these kinds of spams. A big part of the problem is lacking examples of non-English non-spam to verify the rules don't hit them. So, you should probably try using ok_locales, and if it doesn't work, create your own rules to match these spams, if you can find good common patterns that don't seem likely to match non-spams (or match all Chinese email if that's what you want). And please share what works. ok_locales is defined in the Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf main page which can also be found here: http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.3.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html Hmm, ok_locales may actually work on Chinese, I don't see examples of problems with that language.
