Having different assets folders makes sense if you have language-specific images.
If this is not the case, you could edit the chinese context and add the assets_url to the context settings (or change this setting in the context, as I suspect that the setting that causes your problem is located there). I’m not totally sure - I don’t use Babel yet -, but I guess that should solve the problem.
