I thought it was MUJI, but when I received the package, it didn’t seem to be that brand.刘娜: Did you buy “MUJI Natural Mill”? There are now two brands with very similar names in China, so many people get confused.优子: Really? The shop’s colors and style looked very similar—white and simple designs. I didn’t notice at all.刘娜: Yes, that’s the issue. One is the Japanese MUJI brand, and the other is a trademark registered by a Chinese company, so it can use the name “MUJI” on some products.优子: No wonder so many people online say they bought the wrong one. I thought it was the same store, just with a slightly different name.刘娜: So when shopping, you should check the brand name carefully, for example whether it has the English word “MUJI.” That way you won’t get confused.优子: I see. When shopping in China, you really need to check brand names carefully, or it’s easy to buy the wrong thing.
