Why is Chiang Kai-shek called Chang again?

Chang is a mistranslation of Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek translated by Wang Qi, Deputy Director of Tsinghua University History Department (namely, Webster's Pinyin of Chiang Kai-shek).

Webster's Pinyin, also known as Webster's Pinyin Method, was formulated by wade, an Englishman, in the late 9th century. It is widely used to spell the name and place of China. After the formulation and implementation of Chinese Pinyin in New China, Webster's Pinyin method is no longer used in China, but it is still popular in western academic circles.
