I find that Chinese text objects become garbled in both eeschema and pcbnew. Does kicad support Chinese text label? Or will it support this feature in near future?

It probably loads the text OK, but due to font limitations cannot display it. There is a
special vectorized font mechanism in both programs: Pcbnew and Eeschema, which limit the
displayable characters to those which are coded.

No way to tell if a "Chinese literate" programmer is going to submit an acceptable patch,
but if I had to guess about "soon" per your question, my guess would be no.
