Nook's default fonts have no Chinese (Japanese or Korean) script support. But assuming the ebook embeds fonts, Nook will display those if you turn on the 'Publisher Defaults' option.

The problem with PD is that most, but not all, of the books I've tried this with wind up with zero width line spacing. That certainly would look bad in any language, but I'm not sure what factors determine when this behavior kicks in. It's possible that the books that have issues don't actually use embedded fonts, or the opposite. I need to do some experimentation to narrow down the problem.
