Chinese names should be written in Hanyu Pinyin unless there is a more common romanization used in English (for example, Chiang Kai-shek, Sun Yat-sen), as is often the case with people from Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and older overseas Chinese communities (for example, Lee Kuan Yew, Lee Teng-hui, Tung Chee-hwa). On a case-by-case basis, it may also be appropriate to use non-Pinyin for an anime produced in these countries; however, this is still generally discouraged. | |||
