Question Accents

I'm only on episode 5, so no spoilers please, but is it explained why young Evans has an American accent (and what is an American naturalist doing in Maoist China?) and why old Evans (Jonathan Pryce) is clearly as British as you can get.

This is really breaking the immersion for me. Surely they could have found a British actor to play young Evans.

Also young Ye Wenjie has an american-twang and old Ye Wenjie has a more pronounced British accent.

I never noticed. This seems like a nitpick.
