Yes, they are different.  That's why GNU find is mentioned in the docs
of emms-source-file-directory-tree-function: 

,----[ C-h v emms-source-file-directory-tree-function RET ]
| emms-source-file-directory-tree-function is a variable defined in 
`emms-source-file.el'.
| Its value is 
| emms-source-file-directory-tree-internal
| 
| Documentation:
| *A function to call that searches in a given directory all files
| that match a given regex. DIR and REGEX are the only arguments passed
| to this function.
| You have two build-in options:
| `emms-source-file-directory-tree-internal' will work always, but might
| be slow.
| `emms-source-file-directory-tree-find' will work only if you have GNU
| find, but it's faster.
| 
| You can customize this variable.

You may try with emms-source-file-directory-tree-internal.  

But it this is the cause, you should also not be able to play
non-chinese songs..
