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.

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.
