Sample Sentences

是啊。所以我们不能急功近利。中国企业走出去，目的不是要上榜。而是要持续创新和自我完善。其实我们的品牌，目前大多数还是以低价取胜。核心竞争力还远远不够。这和全球性国际品牌，还有很大差距。
shì a 。suǒyǐ wǒmen bùnéng jígōngjìnlì 。Zhōngguó qǐyè zǒu chūqù ，mùdì bù shì yào shàngbǎng 。érshì yào chíxù chuàngxīn hé zìwǒ wánshàn 。qíshí wǒmen de pǐnpái ，mùqián dàduōshù hái shì yǐ dījià qǔshèng 。héxīn jìngzhēnglì hái yuǎnyuǎn bùgòu 。zhè hé quánqiúxìng guójì pǐnpái ，hái yǒu hěn dà chājù 。
Yeah. So we can't get ahead of ourselves. The goal for Chinese companies in going global isn't to get on the list. Actually, they need to innovate sustainably and improve themselves. Most of our brands have used low prices to get where they are today. Their core competitiveness is not nearly strong enough. There's still a big gap compared with international brands.
