The existence of poorly typeset books is no proof that typography (or typographic correctness) are non-existent concepts.

Also, LDBoblo did not say English typographic rules applied to Chinese--but rather that Chinese, along with all other written languages, had typographic rules of its own that higher quality publications would strive to obey in order to maximize readability.
