I agree with the similarity of the statistics, but I disagree with this list. If Voynich is not consistent with known encryption methods, this does not mean that Voynichese is definitively Chinese. This could be an unknown encryption method, couldn’t it?
Maybe it’s a special way to generate gibberish, isn’t it?

In your case, you’re saying more “I don’t know of anything similar,” rather than “there’s nothing similar".

But this is an advantage for Chinese theory — it has something to build on...
