I'd like to give a shoutout to Extra History for their effort into attempting more accurate pronunciation of Chinese names. Several are still quite incorrect, but this episode still goes much further than most vocal attempts towards correct Chinese pronunciation by non-Chinese people. Props, for instance, for correctly pronouncing the name 'Sun' as /swɛn/ ('swen').

Sidenote: Modern Chinese pronunciation. It's almost certain at the time pronunciation was different.
