Huang Hao. Chinese family name姓 first

It is notable that in English, Chinese names are generally written given-family, but in French the original family-given order is preserved. I'm curious how other languages handle this -- any takers?

> in English, Chinese names are generally written given-family

Is that right? All the famous Chinese people I can think of are known in english by the family name first. Names of Chinese players of chess are always family-given in english.

I read after a moment's google that "Chinese people working in western countries usually adopt western order", maybe that's it.

Indian names I believe are similar, family or parent's name comes first[0], e.g. the ex-chess world champion Vishy Anand's name is Viswanathan Anand – Anand was/is actually his given name, but it's treated by english speakers as his surname. I read an interview where he said even he doesn't know any more which is his surname and which his first name hehe.

[0] Same in Hungarian, but always converted to given-family in english.

Possibly this depends on the subculture. One example picked at random, the (fabulous) film Black coal, thin ice is reported in Cahiers du Cinema as directed by Diao Yinan [1], but in IMDb as by Yi'nan Diao [2]

Japan has started writing Japanese names as “FAMILY Given” in English, e.g. ABE Shinzo, MIYAZAKI Hayao, OSAKA Naomi, MIYAMOTO Shigeru, IWATA Satoru.
