I can only speak with certainty for Japanese, but at least here the rules are quite simple. There is no kerning for Japanese characters, so when the line is full it spaces all characters evenly (preferably as close together as the font allows) and dumps everything else to the next line, no matter if it is in the middle of a word (a concept not quite as well defined as in languages with spaces anyway). I can do this by hand if absolutely necessary, by inserting fake spaces "\ \!", but this gets quite tedious, and it seems line breaking for CJ(K) would be nice to have. I remember it working about a year and a half ago(?)...
