Westinghouse manufactures some of the world's largest hydroelectric generators -- like one hundred megawatts. The vastness between these monsters and small generators is so large that even if consumers should grow violently opposed to Westinghouse as a brand name it would little affect the parent that signed an agreement that Westinghouse would not sue them for brand name misappropriation. That's exactly how it works.
Down here folks purchased condominiums in famous resort locations. The hype was so hysterical ("A ***** Development") that people who wanted in on a half million dollar tower condo had to pay 100% up-front. Steel towers had been erected. The photos of *****'s existing works in the USA were everywhere in the sales office. Then work stopped, the companies went bankrupt, the losers demanded their money back from ***** and he responded: "Who? Me?". And the fact that he made money signing agreements not to sue allowed him to slither away.
No this is not about anything other than how the name borrowing works. Nor the surname of the first alpine climber to surmount the world's tallest mountain.
The subject is generator brand names. And the Chinese are acutely aware that a translated "Fierce Warrior Butterfly" ain't where it's at.
