I noticed that many Chinese sites e.g. from Huawei use Serif fonts for certain elements where this is very uncommon for US sites. Does anyone else notice this? Is it because it’s not noticeable when text is written in symbols?

I knew what it was called but never made the connection that Chinese characters are (nearly) square, so a monospace western typeface would work better than a proportional one when mixing the two, especially vertically.
And the serifs would seem to fill the square space better than san-serifs. Especially narrow characters like I and lowercase L.
