It seems that there's no problem.  I don't understand why I
can but you can't input chinese characters.  One possibility
is that there's something wrong in several startup
configuration files (default.el, site-start.el, .emacs).

Please try to start Emacs as this:

    $ LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8 emacs -Q

to disable all startup files, evaluate
(utf-translate-cjk-load-tables) in *scratch* buffer, and
input some Chinese via SCIM.  If it still doesn't work,
please type the Chinese word for "Chinese" and show me what
you get.

By the way, have you tried any of Emacs' one chinese input
methods?
