I hope I did these right! Six-letter name for the first club should be KAMAZ as well. Don't know the format… 🙂

Ahh, there it is. Thanks! 🙂 Also, I found a couple of wiki pages that list the new names for the top two divisions at least. I can't read the sources (they're in Chinese), but they seem like a good base to work from:

Fantastic, cheers! 🙂
To be honest, I only realised fairly recently myself. I was contemplating an Asian journeyman save, and while researching a bit about the interesting clubs out there, that's when I saw something had changed quite dramatically in China.
I've booted up the editor (for the first time). If for the sake of simplicity I just want to reset the Chinese clubs to their data from FM22's original database for now, is there an easy way to do just that?
I loaded the Club Name Changes file, chose clubs and filtered like this:
Nation: Is: The People's Republic of China
And: Number Of Changes: Is At Least: 1
That left me with 22 clubs which I assume are then the Chinese ones that have been edited via the file from this site. Can I reset those 22 changes somehow, or do I manually have to fill out names, abbreviations etc.?

I am not an expert on Chinese football, so I can't identify all the team names listed there, but corporate names have been disallowed and removed from all Chinese clubs, yes. Neutral names are required. To name a few, Guangzhou Evergrande are now Guangzhou FC, Beijing Sinobo Guoan are Beijing Guoan, and Jiangsu Suning were first renamed to Jiangsu FC and subsequently completely shut down after Suning (the corporate owners) pulled out and left the club in financial ruin.
So to answer your question, yes, they should be removed. It's obviously quite the controversial subject, but the “vanilla” names are now reality. You actually saw fans in China protesting the change, because they wanted to keep the corporate names (which to an uninformed European like me seems quite bizarre at first, but I suppose there would be outrage if the Bayer in Bayer Leverkusen was outlawed in Germany).
A few sources on the topic:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guangzhou_F.C. (as well as for the other clubs, look under “naming history”)

I applied this name fix, and overall it's a huge improvement, but for some reason the Chinese clubs are back to their corporate names like Guangzhou Evergrande etc. Is this an oversight in the fix, or did I perhaps do something wrong?
I'd love to get rid of the sponsorship names just like they did in real life. Might make me want to finally manage in China.
