Thank you for your report.

Ctrl+Space has been established as set-mark-command; most serious Emacs
users would be upset to lose that combination.

X Input Managers such as fcitx and SCIM only work with applications that
have been specifically written to use an Input Manager. AFAICT, Emacs is
not one of these, and probably won't be.

However, Emacs does have it's own built-in input management system,
which it has had for several years. For instance, you can type (I know
it's ugly): C-x RET C-\, and it will prompt you to name an input method
to use. Type "chinese" and hit tab, and you will be presented with a
variety of IMs to choose from. Once you've chosen one, type M-x
describe-mode, and it will give you instructions on how to use the
current IM. Please see
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/emacs.html#Input-Methods for
detailed information.

Using the chinese-py method, I can type: woaini, and emacs gives me 我爱你.

I'm sorry if you'd prefer to use the X Input Method you're accustomed
to.  However, this falls into the realm more of a feature request than
an actual bug, and as such, and since it's not trivial (so doesn't
qualify for Wishlist), I need to close this bug. If you are really,
/really/ motivated, you could write a feature specification (see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureSpecifications) to get the ball rolling
for such support; adding support for it could be cumbersome, though,
especially given all the various Control-foo combinations that Emacs
uses.
