What I did in this latest version (which just reached the archive) was putting "Noto Sans CJK JP" before the Chinese equivalents. If non-language-specified content (I assume you are talking about Chinese characters) had been rendered using "Noto Sans CJK JP", it would have made sense. (But would still have been a problem, I suppose...)
I'd rather not touch 65-nonlatin.conf, if possible. It belongs to the fontconfig-config, and I know that upstream is disinclined to modify it. But what kind of change to that file would make a difference?
I'm confused.

Maybe we are trying to do the impossible. :(
