File - /catalog/includes/modules/ultimate_seo_urls5/main/validator.php
Find:

Usu_Main::i()->setVar( 'request_compare_in', remove_session_id( htmlspecialchars_decode( Usu_Main::i()->getVar( 'original_request_uri' ) ) ) );
Replace:

Usu_Main::i()->setVar( 'request_compare_in', remove_session_id( htmlspecialchars_decode( urldecode( Usu_Main::i()->getVar( 'original_request_uri' ) ) ) ) );
 
Root Cause:
In Usu_Validator::validate() function, it will compare the 'incoming seo uri' and 'new seo uri', it will fail to go to desired page if thry are different. However, the encoded 'incoming seo uri' always different to decoded 'new seo uri' when URLs has Chinese. To solve this problem, you could simply add urldecode function when setting 'incoming seo uri'.
