hello!

mapnik does not currently have a chinese font available.
if you look at the city node of beijing and compare with osmarender.

i hope it is not too hard to install it. there is even a chinese mapping 
party coming soon.

for zooms less than 6 in mapnik i notice the english name is displayed 
not the chinese.

totally unrelated (sorry), that url is taken from the view tab link and 
its a bit long for any value of zoom. 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=39.929&lon=116.388&zoom=12 gets you 
pretty much to the same spot.
