You could create SVG images with Inkscape (freeware). It's actually quite simple and it doesn't take much longer than copying and pasting the Chinese text. Here's a
detailed tutorial by

Perhaps they could offer the epub, and put a disclaimer on it saying the Chinese characters will not display correctly.

Have you tested Gitden Reader for Android? The iOS version even displayed your ePub2 version correctly. (Unfortunately, Gitden doesn't support ADEPT DRM.)
BTW, regarding the Chinese text, I'm only remotely familiar with Chinese, but, IIRC, Pinyin text requires accents to mark tones in Chinese and none of the Pinyin text in your excerpt had any.
For example, the book mentions director Jiang Wen, however, in proper Pinyin it should read Jiāng Wén.
