It was fine to use Chinese names in writing Western novels, but one had to pay attention to the influence of cultural and historical backgrounds. In western culture, a person's name usually represents a person's identity and uniqueness. Therefore, using a Chinese name may cause cultural misunderstanding or unnecessary confusion. In addition, if the novel was set in China or Chinese culture, the use of Chinese names also needed to be consistent with the background. During the writing process, you can consider using English names or Pinyin names to convey the identity and uniqueness of the characters while maintaining the cultural and historical background of the novel. If the novel was set in a western society, it could also use a common name in western society to better convey the background and plot of the story.
