This is particularly reflected in Western countries with a large Chinese population such as the U.S., UK, Canada or Australia, where it has been significantly modified to suit the Anglo-Celtic palate, although "Chinese Chinese" cuisine can also be found in many of these countries, particularly in large cities, parts of their wider metropolitan areas and places where there are university students from China.
