Just a bit curious. I know English is not the second official language in China as French is the second official language in Canada.  so is the English on the package for export purposes only?

 

The product is actually Japanese and labelled in Japanese and English - no Chinese!

 

That said, many products in China have English (or what they think is English). It's just a marketing ploy - makes the product seem more exotic! A bit like all the idiots in the west who get tattoos in languages they can't understand or even identify. 90% of them are nonsensical.
