If anyone does come across a version of Times that supports Chinese

I think there is a scenario where Times New Roman is desirable - when
some of the text is to be rendered normally in English as Times serif,
alongside passages of Chinese text. I'm currently looking into this
exact scenario at the moment.
OK, what you would benefit from is an implementation for font-
selection. If this were properly implemented, what you would need to
do would come down to:
<fo:page-sequence font-family="Times New Roman, Arial Unicode">
...
That way, all characters that are unavailable in the Times font (the
Chinese text) would be rendered in Arial Unicode.
Unfortunately, in the above scenario, FOP currently still only uses
Times for all text. While the font-list is properly parsed, and so in
principle both fonts are available, the layoutengine does not yet
make any effort switch to a different font in the middle of a FO... :(
