In fact there is a simple variant of your third option: send clear, coherent messages in standard English. I think that on the whole you will find that it works wonders.
Sometimes, yes. We have numerous stories here from people who say it's not working for them.
There is a strange assumption underlying what you are saying here: Chinese people can't learn English. You are wrong.
There's a strange assumption underlying what you are saying here; that I think Chinese people can't learn English. You are wrong. Some of my favorite co-workers are Chinese, and speak English more than well enough to deal with any request we're likely to make of them. I deal with native speakers of various Chinese dialects every time I order an airsoft from a Hong Kong dealer. I would have to be delusional to think it was impossible for Chinese people to learn English. It is also possible for you to learn Chinese. Just because a thing is possible does not mean 6 billion people will do that thing.
