Not particularly? The number of "words"/distinct concepts is not that much different between languages. Having more characters just makes the words look shorter...
That said, Chinese is an isolating language, so there is little information within a word to hint at the rest of the sentence (no plurality, tense etc.). Which could be better or worse for language models. Or it might not matter in the end given modern tokenization also uses word "fragments" for Western languages.
