Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for Chinese name matching, comprising: receiving, by a processor, a Chinese name; romanizing, by the processor, the received Chinese name into a Mandarin Pinyin representation; matching, by the processor, the Mandarin Pinyin representation of the Chinese name against a set of Romanized Chinese names, wherein the Romanized Chinese names originate from a plurality of different Chinese character names; in response to finding a potential match between the Mandarin Pinyin representation and a Romanized Chinese name, retrieving, by the processor, the original Chinese script for the Romanized Chinese name; and applying, by the processor, a native script comparison between the received Chinese name and the original Chinese script for the Romanized Chinese name as a filter to reduce false positives that are generated in the matching of the Mandarin Pinyin representation of the Chinese name against the set of Romanized Chinese names.
