Would anyone object to an incentive for more people to write in Chinese? ;-) That might not be so bad...

David Gerard:
So I can write a statement in 1000 Chinese characters, and get that translated back to English... you sure about this one?
I'm not sure it's a good way to start a campaign by deliberately looking for loopholes in the rules ;-). I don't think this will be a problem in practice, but if you want, you can define that the most commonly used language is used for the count, or you can retain some flexibility in the enforcement. I'll leave it to the organizers to decide this. What is important is that there is at least a basic requirement so that people don't go overboard.
