Supposedly Kong's VA was born in China, and I couldn't find anything about his coach/interpreter's VA but with a name like Tei Ha, I'd assume he's also Chinese.

Honestly I was already all-in because of Yuasa but having fluent Chinese speakers for it is such a cool touch that I can't help but be even more into this

My Mandarin is quite rusty (and has a Nanjing accent) but Kong's Mandarin sounds legit which, being that I'm Chinese, is really cool. It's also good that Kong has more depth than a walking stereotype. (Not that I'm accusing Yuasa of having done anything like that but I'm always hesitant when an anime has foreign characters.)

Makes me wish China or Taiwan has more easily accessible media with good story telling and style here in the US. I'm very afraid that my Chinese fluency will eventually become the same as my fluency in Japanese which has derived exclusively through anime.
