Lu Xun also advocated for romanized Chinese instead of characters, citing time wasted for students in achieving literacy, however this part of his character (as well as no doubt his support for Esperanto and the apparent anarchist affiliations alleged here) have been airbrushed from history by the Chinese government, who praise him and have a government audited version of his life taught in schools while removing these politically unfortunate aspects of his character. In short, a collection of superfluous historic tidbits does not make a regional affiliation for a language fundamentally grounded in the etymology of another.
