I am using Catalina 10.15.1 on MacBook Pro 15. The computer was set to switch between Chinese and English using shortcut "Command + Space". However, the shortcut sometimes works, sometimes not. When I press "Command + Space", I can see on the screen that it is changing, but the actual word I typed remained the same language.

You you see the input menu "flag" In the top right of the screen changing from the US flag to a Chinese character? Does using the cursor to switch those flags always work right?
Have you tried the option for switching between US and Chinese via Caps Lock? Does that work right?
I tried using the cursor to switch the flags on top right of the screen, and also tried Caps Lock. Sometimes they work, sometimes not - the input sticks to English.
Currently my solution is to switch to a different application and then switch back, and then it works. For example, if I am writing something in WeChat (or facebook messenger), and it sticks to English; I will open MS Word or mac Notes, and the language switch will work there, and then I switch back to WeChat (or facebook messenger), and I can switch the language. But this is really a lot of hassle. I really want to switch by using "Command + Space". I have used this shortcut for many years without any problem until I recently upgraded to Catalina. Not sure if this is related to the OS upgrade.
Thank you very much Tom!
Does the "sticking to English" happen in any Apple app? Or just 3rd party apps like WeChat and facebook messenger?
