Under some conditions, BreakIterator.getSentenceInstance() has a problem in zh.
For instance, if a sentence has a separator as ", and between two ", we have
Chinese words and uper case of English letter, the method BreakIterator.getSentenceInstance() can not work correctly.
Following is the test program.

Test method BreakIterator.getSentenceInstance():
Input text is:
9$R5=g2;IYHKT$QT:"JAVASoQT5D3vOV,=+;aR}FpR;3!Hm<~8oC|".
9$R5=g2;IYHKT$QT#:!0JAVASoQT5D3vOV#,=+;aR}FpR;3!Hm<~8oC|!1!#
9$R5=g2;IYHKT$QT#:!0KfWEJAVASoQT5D3vOV#,=+;aR}FpR;3!Hm<~8oC|!1!#
He said, "I can go there."

Output sentences are:
Sentence 1 is: 9$R5=g2;IYHKT$QT:"JAVA
Sentence 2 is: SoQT5D3vOV,=+;aR}FpR;3!Hm<~8oC|".

Sentence 3 is: 9$R5=g2;IYHKT$QT#:!0JAVA
Sentence 4 is: SoQT5D3vOV#,=+;aR}FpR;3!Hm<~8oC|!1!#

Sentence 5 is: 9$R5=g2;IYHKT$QT#:!0KfWEJAVA
Sentence 6 is: SoQT5D3vOV#,=+;aR}FpR;3!Hm<~8oC|!1!#

Sentence 7 is: He said, "I can go there."
