The question often is asked how the name of Jesus is spoken in Chinese, thinking that the letter "J" and its sound is totally confined to the English language. The "J" letter symbol existed before the English language as we know it today. And the "J" letter sound goes back thousands of years.

耶稣 [yē sū] (Simplified), 耶穌 (Traditional) - Yesu (Mandarin), Yasu (Cantonese).

Can they say Jesus in Chinese? Yes.

In fact many use the name Jesus along with Yesu and Yasu.

The use of Yesu and Yasu is owing to the translators putting these names into Chinese bibles rather than putting Jesus. This could have been done by adding "s" to Yesu(s) and Yasu(s). And then using the "J" letter as used in the names above. Perhaps in more modern translations this can be corrected.
