As I said before, after the third or fourth city on the Chinese list, they arent even cities any more. Theyre just provinces! For example, Canton is a PROVINCE where Hong Kong is. Is it really that difficult? If youre going to do this with China, why not list STATES for the US cities?

Canton is a real Chinese city - modern hanyu pinyin ver is Guangzhou, third largest city in China today. Though Xinjian, Shandong are Chinese provinces. And they'd passed on a lot of the ancient Chinese cities, preferring to stick to a modern map like Chang'an (China's imperial capital for a thousand yrs), Taiyuan, Xuzhou, Suzhou, Xianyang (Qin capital), Luoyang (Eastern Han capital) etc.

Sorry if I seem angry. Im Chinese decent, thats why.

So am I; being angry and Chinese both.

If Firaxis wanted to do it, they shouldn't have mixed it up with new city and old city names. Chengdu, Anyang, and Bejing are the new names; Tienstien, Nanking, Tsingto are all old term names. I don't know why they did that; if they preferred to stick to a modern map I would have liked to have modern names as well.

Firaxis may have taken out cities because they weren't as well known as others.

Someone should create a seperate thread fo this discussion.
