The problem is that the chinese font has different visual appearance than the
western font. The character stays the same, it is just using a different font
depending on the context (i.e. western char before → western font) and that is
the same as issue 54841, isn't it?
i.e. the quotes/punctuation are weak characters and it depends on the context
what font is chosen.

the example from redflagzhulihua showed that this is indeed helpful in usual
cases to use western font when western characters are involved

And there you already have the workaraound: Set the western font to the chinese
font as well (at least for the punctuation - can use search and replace for
that), so that it doesn't matter anymore in what context it is.

(BTW: In western locale there is no change of the appearance in the sample
document, since it initially is in western context already)

I cannot really think of a bullet-proof way to change the behaviour. Maybe for
the quotes (as they appear in pairs usually - but how would you solve the
problem with the ellipsis or the em-dash for example?

Bottom line: For me this is a worksforme. You can force explicit context by
assigning the same font for both contexts. But apart from that it is impossible
to determine what the "correct" font should be.
