Tried it out. This is the best method of all! Works like a charm and no
text selection.

Could be a problem for some non-Chinese speakers, but not for me, as I
don't require any additional functionality.

OK, I tried it on my doc and it worked. This method is easier than the
"dummy-language" method because you don't have to write any commands in the
preamble. Other than that, they both involve selecting text, which could be
time-consuming.

This is the method I'm currently using. Though I had to set the language to
"basque" instead of "japanese." Anyway, I'll switch to writing
" \usepackage{xeCJK}
\setCJKmainfont{MS PMincho}" in the preamble from now on, which will
relieve me of having to select text.
