Do You Know Any Chinese Brands?

I wonder what will be the first brand name from China that global citizens will recognize. True, while China might not have any notable brands yet, it does have intangibles such as its global influence and size. Chinatowns are in many (most?) major cities and Chinese restaurants are everywhere (and have been for awhile).

"...Japanese brands are respected and profitable. By contrast, despite the best efforts of personal-computer giant Lenovo and white-goods producer Haier, China has yet to build a single brand that most Americans could name. Japan is back."
