The country's official language requires a "non-standard" font to be available which does not seem to be a given on all platforms. Like if you set up a standard tile server and don't install extra fonts you will see little squares instead of place names all over China. Apparently not all applications are as good in name:xx handling as OsmAnd. A recurring point in the discussion is that the proponents of using the official language say "we shouldn't fall back to English name tags just because some apps/web sites are broken, we should file bug reports with them instead", and the proponents of using English say "let's be pragmatic, there's no way all these apps/sites will be fixed within a short time, so we should use English".
