Irony
Both the man's real name and the title of his column are in simplified characters. Shouldn't this be changed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.5.251.99 (talk) 00:04, 2 November 2015 (UTC)


 * It is certainly ironic. But even FT uses simplified characters for the name of his column, see here. Simplified characters are so prevalent now it'll be hard to revert the trend. I've at least changed his own name to traditional characters. -Zanhe (talk) 04:59, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Simplified vs Traditional in Lead
Why should Traditional Chinese be in the lead? This is an article based in mainland People's Republic of China, and it should prioritize using the writing system of the country, which is Simplified Chinese. Let me ask you this, why are the PRC-related biographies Xi Jinping, Hu Jintao, Zhou Enlai, Li Keqiang, Mao Zedong use only Simplified Chinese in the lead, and why are Hong Kong-related biographies Carrie Lam, Joshua Wong, Nathan Law use only Traditional Chinese in the lead, and Taiwan-related biographies Chen Shui-bian and Lee Teng-hui use only Traditional Chinese in the lead? The same could go for pre-PRC China biographies such as the Emperors and ministers of Imperial China using Traditional Chinese in the lead. According to your reasoning, both Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese should both be in the lead no matter what. But by this, it just provides more clutter in the zh templates and in addition, it does not add relevance to the environment and time period the biography is set in. - 祝好，Josephua(聊天) 06:41, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * If you do not respond, I can assume that you see my reason on why this article should prioritize Simplified Chinese in the lead and not Traditional, and therefore you agree with my edit, and therefore, revert your edit. - 祝好，Josephua(聊天) 18:50, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
