As for why it was changed to "Golden Arch", Zhang Jiayin said that because the image design of McDonald's logo is like two Golden Arches, the nickname "Golden Arches" has been used in the company, and the registered name of McDonald's in Brazil is also "Golden Arch" in Portuguese, so China chose the Chinese translation of "Golden Arch" when it decided to change its name.
