Bethune has multiple statues and memorials in China and there's claims that he is revered by Chinese people for his dedication to them.
I'm no Sinologist so take that with a grain of salt but, if does happen to be true, then I feel like for the Chinese audience that Bethune reference wouldn't be lost on the more historically-literate reader, at the least.
I imagine Bethune is thought of in China about the way Lafayette is thought of in the U.S., but yeah, I'm far from an expert myself.
