I understand that some of the information might be missing, but even this is true, I think fontconfig should come up with a somewhat better default rendering than what it is now. The solution might just be putting Uming/Ukai or wqy fonts right before the Japanese "Mincho" or "Gothic" font series, simply because Japanese fonts do not have a large Unicode coverage than Uming/wqy (but Uming/wqy covers Japanese code points). For Japanese locales, we can match lang=ja and put Mincho/Gothic fonts in front of the Chinese fonts.
To remind you my motivation for keep asking for a better default Chinese rendering, attached is a screenshot of browsing a Chinese web page under a fresh F8 installation (en-us of course), I doubt anyone would like to read this on a regular basis.

This is because by default fontconfig doesn't come with a mind-reader. You have to tell it which CJK language you want it to prefer. You can do that by any of:
Setting $LANG to zh_CN for example.
Making sure your HTML pages have the lang="zh-cn" tag. No,
lang="zh" is not enough.
- With recent Pango and a Pango-enabled firefox, you can set
$LANGUAGE=en_US,zh_CN, or set $PANGO_LANGUAGE=en_US,zh_CN. It does the right thing then.
