There is increased understanding of Chinese vocabulary and concepts outside China, and more Chinese words are being used in the English language, according to a recent report.

根据一份近日发布的报告指出，中国词汇和概念在国外的认知度上升，英语语言中使用的中国话更多了。

中国中央电视台称，许多以前被翻译成英语的中国词汇现在已经被拼音取代，如“jiaozi”取代“dumpling”，“mantou”取代“steamed bun”。
