I tested the second workaround, and replaced the \DeclareUnicodeCharacter{200B}{} sequence with \newunicodechar{​}{} sequence since I am using xelatex, which does not support the former.
It works fine so far.

As far as I know, Chinese users commonly use ctex package https://ctan.org/pkg/ctex to handle Chinese typesetting problem, and they prefer xelatex and lualatex over pdflatex. They don't support more fonts when using pdflatex, compared with using xelatex etc. (you can see that on page 7 of their pdf document). So I just use xelatex and don't have much experience using pdflatex.

When using ctex, you just need to declare \documentclass{ctexart} (ctexart is a ctex version article) to use Chinese characters. Then if your system has the required default fonts, the pdf documents should be OK.
