Yes, China has been cracking down on foreign names for the last few years:
>In Bid to Protect ‘National Dignity,’ China Cracks Down on Foreign Place Names
>Li Liguo, China’s Minister of Civil Affairs, said that the move will target “exaggerated, foreign, bizarre and repetitive” names, as well as those that cause inconvenience to citizens, Xinhua reported.
>The ministry is particularly concerned about names “that damage sovereignty and national dignity, are against socialist core values, deviate from public order and good morals, and raise strong concerns from the public,” Xinhua cited Mr. Li as saying.
