FAQ:

the table editor works fine if each Chinese character is an integer
number of ASCII characters wide [1]. So you need to find a Chinese font that
does have this property. No chance that will ever make this work for
fonts that do not have this property.

[1]
Org is smart enough to deal with integer width characters (quite a feat
already, I assure you), but it cannot and likely never will handle
variable width fonts.
