My favorite part about this article is the extra wide space that follows their apostrophe character. It really gives an air of legitimacy to their LaTeX distribution...

It looks like there is something wrong with the 'Microsoft YaHei' font. Removing that from the font-family fixes the huge space.
In the CJK typography quotes are traditionally as wide as other ideographic characters, with left quotes aligned to the right and right quotes aligned to the left. A Western typographical apostrophe is mapped to a right single quote in Unicode, resulting in a collision. They can only be distinguished by the context.
Looks fine for me (Chrome on Android).
Apostrophe?
