Lots of discussion about the need for language ability in China-related and adjacent fields.

FWIW, I agree with Graham.
All depends on what you are seeking to do.

The parts of my work I am most proud of have involved being part of China's internal legal reform discussions, and required language skills. Others engage in different ways.
I do think it is important for academic integrity to not cite (or worse textually analyze) foreign-language sources you aren't able to read.

Instead, cite the translation you used so that others can trackback and discover where confusion may have occurred.
