Dan,

XeLaTeX must be told which fonts to use, because Chinese characters do
not exist in Computer Modern or Latin Modern. To do this, use the
fontspec package.

I use FangZheng KaiTi (Simplified) here, which is not in Big5 but that
doesn't matter for this example, but you can use another font. The PDF
is attached.

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{FZKai-Z03S}
\begin{document}
 Chinese 1 2 3 \\
 中文  一二三 \\
 end
\end{document}

I recommend you read the fontspec documentation to understand how to
set fonts in XeLaTeX.
