That's true in theory, in practice it's not that severe as the
CJK languages are never isolated and appear embedded in a lot
of ASCII. You can read here a case study [1] which shows 106%
for Simplified Chinese, 76% for Traditional Chinese, 129% for
Japanese and 94% for Korean. These numbers for pure text.

smaller, probably because of whitespaces.
Publish it on the web embedded in bloated html and there goes
the size advantage of UTF-16
