Hu Lian → Hu Lien – After the Chinese Civil War he moved to Taiwan, Taiwan did not use pinyin. The only reference in the article was Foreign Policy of the New Taiwan: Pragmatic Diplomacy in Southeast Asia (2002), and in that (I should add, fairly recent) book there was no "Hu Lian", only "Hu Lien", see [1]. Searches in Google Books using the 2 terms show that "Hu Lien" far outnumbers "Hu Lian", even in fairly recent literature. Timmyshin (talk) 17:33, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

• Support. The usual practice at Wikipedia is that if the subject stayed in China, use pinyin. But if the subject moved to Taiwan and was at least somewhat notable for activities there as well, use Wade-Giles. Cf. similar cases such as Sun Li-jen, Chang Li-sheng, Hu Shih. —  AjaxSmack  05:01, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
