Chinese Surname goes first, right? edit

Given what I know about Chinese surnames, and that on other wiki pages the convention is carried, such as Chiang Kai-shek is written with the surname first, and other prominent Chinese, such as Mao or Xi, should not the same standard apply here? Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiang_Kai-shek

I started the page as "Ji Xingwen", and I'm wondering what the reasoning was for changing it. If I'm not mistaken, it is supposed to be written as such - I also don't think the person in the article ever wrote the name with the surname last.

I am changing the name back to the surname-first format in the body text. If you edit the page to revert it, please describe the justification in this section. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Mattador (talkcontribs) 10:08, 22 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
