　　Riding a Mobike in the street, you might hear some people speaking Chinese aloud. Turning to the right, you see a Sichuan-style restaurant. After walking into a store, you see that HUAWEI smartphones are on sale. But you're not in China—you're in Manchester in Britain. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities. Chinese products have been going all over the world.

　　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, a Chinese student who is studying in Australia. "We like to eat meat with the bones in, but people here don't. So the local Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish."

　　Some Chinese brands (品牌) are also becoming more popular. It is reported that in many cities in Europe, many stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers. More than half of the US-owned drones (無人機(jī)) are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They are not only made in China, but also designed and developed in the country.

　　In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But now things have changed greatly. More people trust Chinese brands. "Made in China" becomes cool.
