During some fan Q&A about the movie, Mr. Internalized Racism, err, I mean, M Night Whatever explained that just like LotR is like medieval europe but not actually set in medieval europe, Avatar is like our world but not, y'know, set in it. This was his justification for why there'll be no chinese script of any kind in the movie.
Not to mention that it completely ignores the part where Avatar the cartoon series is already set in a world that isn't ours but still has the authentic Chinese calligraphy in it.
