#  If (as an example) a Chinese information provider wished to make
#  available their resources to English speakers as URNs, I would
#  suspect they would want to provide "English-compatible" URNs,
#  rather than long, seemingly random %XX-encoded strings.

So the library of China should assign chinese URNs to the information
they think only Chinese readers will want to read, and ASCII URNs to
the texts they think might also be of interest to people who don't
read Chinese?
