it's bad enough to try to understand someone elses code when you
speak the same language - it must be damn near impossible if
everything's in chinese

I found the same thing when I registered with guru.com. There are
hundreds of jobs with a budget of $500 or less, and precious few
worth bidding on. All my work comes from contacts--current and
former clients, colleagues, and the like.
There is a downside to outsourcing, though. I've worked on two
major projects, one for Disney and one for Sesame Street, that were
initially outsourced overseas. Both projects were eventually deemed
substandard, and completely re-written in-house.
I'm not saying the programmers overseas are substandard--I've
worked with some fine Chinese and Indian programmers (even some
good Europeans ;-) There are so many problems with time
differences, cultural differences, expectations, and a host of
other issues that it often costs more to send something overseas.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
