Why the different names?
Chinese brands often sell one car under several badges: a Chinese name at home (MG木兰, MG Mùlán) 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.
Named after Hua Mulan in China; plain 'MG4' abroad.
