Why the different names?
Chinese brands often sell one car under several badges: a Chinese name at home (长城炮, Chángchéng Pào) 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.
Domestic name means 'Cannon' — transliterated (Poer) or translated (Cannon) abroad.
