I'm not sure that's the case... As I described in the original report, once I uninstalled the package and manually downloaded NotoCJK from Google, the issue is fixed, even though I didn't make any changes in the Chrome font settings (the default font is still "Liberation Sans" now). In my original noto folder, there is only one NotoSansCJK file, but in the downloaded zip file, there are various files e.g. NotoSansCJKsc- Regular.otf, NotoSansCJKsc-Bold.otf etc. Maybe this package just packs all of them into one, but then it's likely a fontconfig issue as of why Chrome decided that "Thin" is the correct one to use.
