For printed documents, maybe Arphic Ming (fonts-arphic-uming) is a good
choice, but there are some limitations:

1. Traditionally there is no italic in Chinese typesetting, so for
stressing it is better using Hei (Gothic) fonts, for example, Noto Sans
CJK, or alternatively, Droid Sans Fallback (fonts-droid-fallback), which is
popular in Android prior to Android 5.0.

2. Most of the free typefaces in Chinese (other than Noto Sans CJK/Source
Han Sans) do not provide native bold font, and fonts in faux bold looks
badly shaped. Could it be possible avoiding them?
