Why few Chinese brands make it abroad?

There are lots of high-quality manufacturers in China. For example, I was shopping around for an air-purifier product in China and found out that there are 200 brands, both local and foreign, being sold in the market. I settled for a Chinese company which had their R&D center in Germany and their factory in China. In other words, they were using German technology and Chinese manufacturing to come up with a superior product with more features at a lower price than competing brands from foreign countries. The air purifier market in China is actually more competitive than any market in the world.
