Romanization?

It's very hard to determine what romanization would be appropriate for his name. He was from Hong Kong, so Cantonese seems likely; but he was pro-Beijing, so Mandarin is equally likely. The SCMP calls him "Xu Simin" https://www.scmp.com/article/607408/veteran-beijing-loyalist-xu-simin-dies-93 , but China Daily calls him "Tsui Sze Man": https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2007-09/11/content_6096419.htm . The article is also inconsistent, alternating between Cantonese and Mandarin readings of his name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:B011:1005:70E3:18A9:3605:F850:246C (talk) 08:04, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
