It isn't standards compliant, though. Have you *READ* the C99 standard? According to my copy of ISO/IEC 9899:1999, chinese characters in identifiers are quite legal. And the source is not defined to be UTF8 because C has never defined the source to be any specific character set; if your character set does not include the right characters, use \uXXXX or \Uxxxxxxxx.
