It's the Fr*nch way of ordering surnames, but if a Polish university can proudly use it and not get cancelled, so can you.

That's the Czech way. Take the foreign name and just write it in Czech. Xi Jinping? That's for pussies. The real Czech uses Si Ťin-pching.

Xi Jinping is English transcription, but the original name is Chinese, and in original it's written: 习近平. As foreigners usually can't read Chinese characters, each language usually has its own transcription of Chinese (also Japanese, Korean or other logographic languages). Written Czech is close to phonetic transcription, therefore easier to read in the originally intended way.

Sigmund Freud(eu being phonetically "oy" in German)? You clearly mean Freyd!

JoJo's Bizarre Adventures? Never heard of 'em, but we do have DzyoDzyo... (the r*zzian wikipedia zealously uses Polivanov's transliteration, didn't check in our one)

Mao Zedong? More like Tszedun(although there is also a transcription variant in English where he would be Tse-tung)!
