This is correct behavior.
It is generally up to the user or the packager to redirect SimSun to a correct local font.
If you have a local system font you want to use as a replacement you put it in
[Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]
so for example if i want to use the Japanese Ume font "Ume UI Gothic" as my "MS UI Gothic" font i add
"MS UI Gothic" the value "Ume UI Gothic"
then when my font links get generated they automatically generate with Ume UI Gothic in them.
I am unsure what local system Chinese font you would be using but add it to your FontSubstitutes and see if the links are correctly generated using it.
To amend my above statement.
An even better way of doing this is through [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Fonts\Replacements]
If you add a replacements entry then it will only be used if the original font is missing.
