26、   Riding a Mobike on the street, you may hear some people speaking Chinese aloud. Turing to the right, you see a Sichuan-style restaurant. After walking into a shop, you may see that Huawei smartphones are on sale. But you are not in China --you are in Manchester in Britain. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities. Chinese products have been going global.

Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time. To meet local people’s tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. “One example is the meat,” said Yin Hang, who is studying at the University of Wollongong in Australia. “We like to eat meat with the bone in, but people here don’t.”

So Chinese brands（品牌）are also becoming more popular. In many cities in Europe, stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridge and Lenovo computers, reported Reuters. More than half of US-owned drones（无人机）are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They are not simply made in China, but designed and developed in the country.

In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But things have changed greatly. “Made in China” has become cool and more people trust Chinese brands. For example, Huawei, one of China’s major smartphone makers, overtook Apple in global smartphone sales for the first time in June and July. “ They are beautiful and offer some special features（特点）American phones don’t have,” CNN once said about Chinese smartphones.
