Now over the years, real Chinese snacks have become more popular in foreign countries.
In the United States, people are eating roujiamo. Many people call roujiamo from Shaanxi Province of China the "Chinese hamburger". It has two pieces of bread with delicious meat between them. The US news blog (博客) even regards roujiamo as "the world's first hamburger". It is very an American hamburger. In fact, it has a long history in China.
In Russia, tanghulu were sold in just a few hours. Tanghulu is a traditional Chinese snack that is made of fruit, usually Chinese hawthorns (山楂). It is like candy apples in the US. They are the hawthorns with sugar candy. A stick is pushed into the fruit so you can hold it like a lollipop (棒棒糖). Some Chinese people think tanghulu has the same shape as a bottle gourd (葫芦). That's why it has this name. Of course, the new kind made of other fresh fruit strawberries and oranges has also appeared in China now.
