if there is at least one Chinese
character in the string.
Difference from is-chinese
Another package called is-chinese
will return false if the string contains
at least one non-Chinese character, for example Welcome to 香港
will
result in false
.
In contrast, this package will return true
for such text containing mixed
Chinese and non-Chinese text.
