Hanyu Pinyin is not PRC names...it is the new acceptable way of writing Chinese...have you ever studied Chinese?? I came from the time of writing in the old Chinese ( Wen yen wen) to the newer Chinese ( Ba hua wen) & short form, which was the predecessor to Hanyu Pinyin...
Taiwan still use the putong Chinese..( common Chinese), in which the PRC Chinese still can read...HK uses, Cantonese Chinese Characters....
This not PRC names....Li...is the Hanyu Pinyin for Lee...instead of using the old ang moh standard of writing Chinese Characters in English....
