I think it's better to avoid placeholder names like "村". Adding a node place=village without a name is sufficient, or draw a landuse=residential to render unnamed villages.
It could even be a nuisance later, if people use search tools to find places with missing names, the placeholder names will be missed. -

One can also easily search for name=村 in an area. The point is it gets rendered and someone local might get curious or annoyed and might start to add the missing name (some day). GNS data for villages is VERY bad for Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces - In some regions there are no Chinese names given but only something like "Kangjiagang;K'ang-chia-kang" or "Chi-cheng-tien;Chi-chen;Jizhen" being actually the town 吉镇 which I only found with the josm's wikidata plugin.

That's right. There's not that much harm, it just looks a little silly. (with overpass you can also search for place=village without a name tag: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/smK)
It's actually a problem of the renderer, a village with no name should be rendered with a dot for example.Almost always when GNS only has a latin alphabet name, it's a 乡 or 镇 although it will be clear from the imagery that it's place=town anyways.
