With trade between China and the US worth hundreds of billions of dollars a year, companies in both countries have never had it so good. According to Forbes, the top five Chinese brands are Haier, CIMC, Tsingtao, Tongrenteng and Yanjing. Ok, now let's ask the American and Chinese public which companies from each country they're most aware of.
"Starbucks, Apple, KFC, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola. My child's drinking milk is also an American brand, Mead Johnson."
"Lenovo, you know, I mean looking at consumer electronics certainly."
"One of the most impressive brands from China from my perspective as an American, is definitely Alibaba."
"My favorite American brand is Google."
While many American brands have permeated the Chinese market, Chinese brands are gradually becoming better known in the US.
