How do Americans who work in China get Chinese names?

Before US President Barack Obama came to China, he "corrected" his Chinese name. Politicians who have a little influence in new york politics or intend to make a difference in the future have their own Chinese names.

The next day, the name is not correct and the words are not fluent; If it's wrong, it won't work. It seems that Americans also believe this. Before arriving in China, US President Barack Obama launched a "name-clearing" campaign. It is reported that the poster issued by the US Embassy in China uses "US President Barack Obama". Embassy staff revealed that the US government is standardizing the Chinese translation of the president's name and will use "Obama" in the future. The reason why we say "unification" shows that there is "disunity" in President Obama's Chinese translation. Among the Chinese media in new york, World Journal with a background in Taiwan Province Province was translated into Obama, Sing Tao Daily with a background in Hong Kong and Overseas Chinese News with a background in mainland China were translated into Obama.

Whether it is called Obama or Obama, it is just a transliteration of Obama, not a real Chinese name. The transliteration names of foreigners, such as Nixon, Reagan, Clinton and Bush, are not rich in China culture. Chinese names are purely code names, so it's hard to say that they are meaningful. However, since the US government takes the initiative to attach importance to this spirit, it shows that Obama cares about his code name in the Chinese world, which further shows that he cares about China. In fact, not only President Obama wants to unify Chinese names, but also new york's political circles have some influence, or politicians who intend to make a difference in the future all have their own Chinese names. What is said here is the Chinese name they specially gave themselves, not the Chinese transliteration of their English names. As for many ordinary Americans, it is not surprising to give themselves a Chinese name for fun.
