After some time of messing around I still think this is a bug of CJK
fallback mechanism in Chrome...After all, when the page explicitly sets
lang="??", Chrome render the fonts using the corresponding language's
Noto Sans CJK ?? correctly and gorgeously(That is, for an entry of
Wikipedia, Chrome correctly renders its English version using Noto Sans,
Noto Serif, Noto Mono, and correctly renders its Japanese version using
Noto Sans CJK JP, and correctly renders its SC version using Noto Sans
CJK SC and TC version using Noto Sans CJK TC. And Chrome correctly
renders normal texts using Regular fonts and renders bold texts using
corresponding Bold fonts. This means that Chrome CAN RECOGNIZE different
Noto CJK fonts and their different Weights), but when the page does not
explicitly sets lang="??", its fallback mechanism will weirdly choose
[Noto Sans CJK JP Thin] first to render CJK fonts, which is the key.
