actually that is how your pronounce it. go watch her bag check. it doesn't matter how you think proper chinese names are pronounced. it is however she pronounces it.

There was a time when BBC took the effort to make sure they pronounce names correctly. It's all about the effort. Clearly, they don't make any effort now.
For that matter, Korean names are usually mispronounced too. Park Ji sung is really more like pak chi song

its the ZH that messes people up... while it may seem very similar to the english J... it is in fact slightly different... to most native english speakers it will sound very similar... to make the ZH sound... put your tongue on the roof of your mouth, instead of the back of your front teeth.. then try to say the j sound in this way it will be much closer to the chinese 州 or other words that start with this sound :)

Cantonese Jyutping transliteration of Zheng Jie's name: Zeng6 Git3.

It's not his fault is it? If the romanization of Chinese weren't so damned weird he would not have made the mistake.

@shivastotravali
And also not as in Kim Dae-jung, either; in that case the "jung" in that name is pronounced similarly to the Pinyin "zhong" and his name is thus rendered in that language as Jin Dazhong.
