Because Chinese is their first language

Because Chinese isn't just one language, you have Mandarin and Cantonese among other spoken in China. The little English you may find in China comes from Honk Kong that was under the influence of England for centuries.

Their mouth wasn't taught at a young age the English sounds that they need to make which is why they pronounce words funny. Not all Chinese as a whole speak bad English, so don't think that.

Probably for the same reason that Americans speak poor Chinese.

It is unfair to generalise in this matter. I expect a lot of Chinese speak good English.

Let me put it this way, how is your Chinese?
English is a complex language and is completely different from Chinese in sentence structure, writing forms, grammar and syntax. I could not imagine trying to learn Chinese, but give credit to thousands of Chinese students and immigrants who study English and learn our language.

What I wonder is WHY some native English speakers have poor English too.

they grew up speaking chinese and know how to form their mouths t othe chinese words and phrases and it is basically hard for anyone to learn any new language that they have never spoken a lick of in their natural lives.

If you want to learn Mandarin but you have no clue the place to begin then a course for Mandarin is the best on the web program for the newcomers since it genuinely begins with the basis.
