I finally got around to fiddle with this again, unfortunately no
(greater) luck. The mode-line customisation do not affect the input
suggestion. 

What I do is C-\ and type e.g. 'hao' and the completion are
tiny. The closest I got was to customise the default face by
M-x customize-face RET default
and setting the height to a larger value. This increaseas /all/ the font
sizes though. Probably there is a way to increase only the chinese font
sizes, but I have not found a way to do this yet. Any suggestions welcome!
