All the articles on Chinese people already have this. For example, this one on the writer Lu Xun: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lu_Xun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lu_Xun. This convention is widely practiced in Western journalism, but unfortunately it hasn't become common knowledge. As a Chinese person working in UK, I frequently have to explain my name order, despite the fact that most people have definitely seen "Eastern" names like Xi Jinping and Yao Ming in the news. I guess most people never asked themselves whether "Xi" and "Yao" are given names or family names. Personally I welcome this change by the Japanese government. My hope is that this will raise awareness of the "Eastern" name order.
