I am surprised at this. Even in Hong Kong, if you choose to take a Chinese name, at the time that you apply for your HKID, that becomes your legal name.

- rahimnathwani 8y agoThere are very few foreigners in mainland China who are eligible for and have received a Chinese ID card. I've never met one in person, so don't know what name is shown on there. But that card is especially for foreigners so I'd expect it to use the regular name.
