Chinese name vs export names

Why the different names?

Chinese brands often sell one car under several badges: a Chinese name at home (腾势D9, Téngshì D9) and one or more export names abroad. Renames happen to avoid trademark conflicts, to fit a global naming system, or because the domestic name does not translate well.
