There seem to be a conflict, please backport manually. Here are approximate instructions:

1. Checkout backport branch and update it.

```
git checkout 1.4.x
git pull
```

2. Cherry pick the first parent branch of the this PR on top of the older branch:
```
git cherry-pick -x -m1 72da7b24c22eb00b791ffc0370015393788de021
```

3. You will likely have some merge/cherry-pick conflict here, fix them and commit:

```
git commit -am 'Backport PR #47905: BUG: Fix read_xml raising syntax error when reading XML with Chinese tags'
```

4. Push to a named branch:

```
git push YOURFORK 1.4.x:auto-backport-of-pr-47905-on-1.4.x
```

5. Create a PR against branch 1.4.x, I would have named this PR:

> "Backport PR #47905 on branch 1.4.x (BUG: Fix read_xml raising syntax error when reading XML with Chinese tags)"

And apply the correct labels and milestones.

Congratulations — you did some good work! Hopefully your backport PR will be tested by the continuous integration and merged soon!

Remember to remove the `Still Needs Manual Backport` label once the PR gets merged.

                 @ParfaitG mind applying the backport PR with the instructions above if you have the time? @mroeschke it's a bit late in the release cycle for bug fixes. Is this considered low risk? and 1.5 is may be not far anyway. https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/pull/47925#issuecomment-1207597669 mentions I think it's okay pushing to 1.5 instead
