cannot open UTF-8 CSV file that contains Chinese with excel correctly

I have a CSV file encoded with UTF-8, generated by myself on Mac, contains Chinese, English, and numbers. I can open it correctly with Mac text editor, VScode, Mac Numbers, and google forms. However, excel seems to have some issue with it, Chinese become some random characters.

I have tried and failed:

1. right click file -> open with excel

2. In excel, File -> Open...

3. In excel, File -> Import

4. In excel, Data -> acquire external data

I have read this article How to open UTF-8 CSV file in Excel without mis-conversion of characters in Japanese and Chinese language for both Mac and Windows and many other articles. Tried all the steps correctly, still failed.

The file I have is here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gm3l6kKPWbNlmu-POvh8NKl0fHWFGA4A/view?usp=share_link. if you want to try it yourself.

I believe the standard procedure is helpless, and probably need to ask engineers to fix the bug. Or I missed something important.
