No. A great numbers of 'Western' names - of Chinese persons, cities etcetera - were re-spelled at the time to make them a better match of the way that the Chinese themselves pronounced these names. So Mao Tse-Tung became Mao Zedong and Peking became Beijing, to name just two.

Was the 1970's change of chairman Mao's name an example of rewriting history?
No it wasn't. This was only a matter of re-spelling his and many other Chinese names to get them closer to the way the Chinese themselves pronounce it. "Rewriting history" would be the case if for instance his role within the Chinese Communist party had posthumously been changed so that not he, but another high Party official could be made responsible for the millions of dead during China's Cultural Revolution.
What is different about how history is written and rewritten?
History is initially written based on the available evidence and interpretation by historians at a specific time. History is rewritten as new evidence emerges, perspectives change, or biases are identified, leading to a reevaluation of past events and figures. Rewriting history often involves challenging existing narratives and presenting a more inclusive and accurate portrayal of the past.
