This is the typical scenario where Japanese fonts overwrite Chinese fonts. The default fontconfig settings put Japanese fonts in front of Chinese fonts. Because Japanese fonts only cover a small fraction of Kanji, when rendering a block of simplified/traditional Chinese text, the missing ones will be rendered by Chinese fonts with full-coverage. I had proposed solutions to this issue, but the fontconfig developers are slow in responding:
