Chinese people usually have three characters that make up their name. So if their English name is the anglicized form of their Chinese name, then it makes up their full name.

Historical Chinese Leaders
Mao Zedong (although he was sometimes referred to as Chairman Mao)
Sun Yat-sen
Chiang Kaishek

Yeah, I read somewhere that his real name is Michael A. Fox, but when he wanted to get his Screen Actors Guild card, they told him there was already a Michael A. Fox, so he just switched A. to J.

I heard his name was Michael Andrew Fox, but he didn't want to be called "Michael - a fox!" so he adopted a new middle initial.
