    It doesn’t depend on locality as much as it does on advertising.

    In the UK its either pronounced “wawhey” or “that Chinese company” depending on speaker.

      Exactly. There’s a massive difference between “wawhey” and “Hua Wai”. I was shocked when i first heard that it was supposed to be pronounced the first way
