Making up the pronunciation as you go might be excusable if you doing it live and unscripted. But the number of angloids who will unashamedly do it in prerecorded and scripted videos clearly showing they can't be bothered to look it up is too damn high.
And then you read english translations and stuff like Kumintang is written.
It's Guo Min Dang. Literally translated to national people's party.
It's because Pinyin was introduced by the PRC and the ROC still uses Wade-Giles
Pinyin makes much more sense to me, but that's probably just my bias because that's how I learned it. The problem ultimately is that both systems don't map one to one with English pronunciation, and the same characters sometimes map differently in the two systems. Both systems have their pros and cons.
Oh wow. Fits the pattern of third world nationalist parties being self contradictory.
This is pretty much how I approach it. I either learn how to pronounce it correctly or just don't say it at all.
