I have played around with some Chinese pages on mediawiki.org and so far the
only problem I have seen is "no line wrapping". I don't see problems you
mentioned like "text-direction"; note that Chinese and Japanese also use the
left-to-right text direction just like English. Text direction is only a
problem for Middle East languages like Arabic and Hebrew.

I see MediaWiki can already draw basic stuff right: text, images and tables,
except line wrapping for Chinese/Japanese.

Here is a simple rule set for line wrapping:

IF there is a whitespace near the page's right margin THEN
        break the line at that whitespace;
ELSE IF there is a Chinese/Japanese character near the page's right margin THEN
        break before or after that character;
ELSE
        break forcibly at the page's right margin (and optionally draw a "soft
return" character to indicate this forced break).
