While Site was hacked, need to remove all URLs starting with + from Google, use robots.txt? is a very similar question, the solutions focus on identifying the URLs that start with +. Those solutions wouldn't be useful in this case. This question isn't close enough to be marked a duplicate.

Basically, you shouldn't be blocking these URLs with robots.txt. If you block crawling then Googlebot won't see the 404 and your "hacked" URL remains indexed for much longer. Do your legitimate page URLs follow a specific pattern (eg. all lowercase a to z letters plus hyphen?) then you could serve a 410 Gone for all requests that do not fit that pattern (which will naturally include all Chinese-looking URLs)?
