Easy.
Enterprising Chinese chefs and cooks who move to other countries cut, mix, chop, modify, adapt, reinvent Chinese dishes to suit the tastebuds of the locals.

很简单。
有创业精神的中国主厨和普通厨师搬到其他国家居住，截取，混合，去除，改造，适应，重新创造出符合当地口味的菜肴。

Sometimes, they create “Chinese” dishes that have zero resemblance to any of the plethora of dishes in the various Chinese cuisines.

有时他们创造的“中餐”菜肴和原本中餐中本就种类繁多的菜肴一点相似性也没有。

When I was still in my previous Master’s program, one of my classmates introduced me to “Chinese 3-in-1”, which apparently you can find in nearly all of the Chinese takeaways here.
I was like: what on Earth is a Chinese 3-in-1?

当我还在上大学的时候，我的一位同学向我介绍了“中餐三合一”，在这个地方也许你能在你附近的任何中餐外卖里发现这玩意。
我当时就问：这个中餐三合一是个啥玩意？

And then they showed me.
Welcome, to the Chinese 3-in-1 , Dante my boy:
Egg Fried Rice + Chips + Curry Sauce

然后他们向我展示到：​欢迎品尝中餐三合一
蛋炒饭+薯条+咖喱酱

Mmmmm.

呃……

Brings back memories of grandma’s cooking.
Lol.

这让我想起了我奶奶做的饭（译者：意思可能是说他奶奶不会做饭？）
哈哈

Yup, when my Chinese friends and I saw this dish for the first time, in a Chinese restaurant of all places, we were like WTF.
Like seriously, WTF.

没错，当我和其他中国朋友第一次看到这道菜存在于每一家当地的中餐馆的时候，我们的感受是：这是什么鬼？

I feel drowsy just looking at pictures of it.
Where are the vegetablessssssssssssss ?

只是看着这东西的图片就让我感到梦幻，蔬菜都跑哪去了！？

If you add chicken, it becomes “4-in-1”:

如果你加上炸鸡那就是“四合一”

If you grab a plate, and upend the contents of the takeaway container over the plate, you get the visually arresting sight that is:

如果你把外卖盒里的东西倒扣在盘子上，你会得到这么一番瞠目结舌的景象。

I also previously covered the Spice Bag, that quintessential Irish Chineses takeaway treat.
Chips + Crispy Deep Fried Chicken + Red & Green Peppers + Chili Peppers + Onions + Some Mysterious Spice Mix (hence the name) + Salt, Salt, and a ton of Salt.
All to be washed down with a can of DIET Coke.

我之前也报道过一种捕捉到了爱尔兰中餐外卖精髓的香料袋
薯条+脆皮炸鸡+青红椒+辣椒+洋葱+神秘调料包（由此得名）+盐盐盐，成吨的盐。
然后把这玩意用无糖可乐冲到肚子里。

Conclusion:
“Chinese foods” is one of the world’s most popular cuisines because enterprising Chinese chefs and cooks who move to other countries will redesign, rejig, remake dishes to suit local tastebuds.
Sometimes, as in the examples above, inspiration might strike from onhigh and they might even come up with something completely unexpected…
As an aside, on one of my previous answers, someone referred to the food in the picture below as “Modern Chinese”.
Mmm.

结论：
“中餐”之所以是世界上最流行的食物正是因为具有创业精神的中国厨师们在搬到其他国家后会重新设计，调整，重制菜肴
来适应当地的味蕾。
有时，正如前文的例子中，他们可能会灵光一闪然后创造出一些某些完全出乎意料的东西。
顺带一提，在我之前的某个回答中有人将下图的食物称之为“现代中餐”
呃……

Meno Speakenglish
Next step is to drown rice in maple syrup to attract wild Canadians.

下一步是把米饭泡在枫叶糖浆里吸引疯狂的加拿大人。

Your picture? That’s 1st generation fried rice, they use 老抽 instead of the normal stuff. I haven’t seen that in years.
你的图片里那种炒饭是第一代炒饭，他们只用老抽而不放其他任何现在常用的佐料。我已经有些年没见过了。

If I ever went to Mr. Wong’s house (which would be a slim or no chance of ever happening), oolong tea and 炒生菜 that is not re-invented in any way would be simply amazing.
如果我能有机会去答主家做客（这是一件几乎不可能发生的事情），尝一尝没有被重新发明过的乌龙茶和炒生菜那就好了

I was with you and loved every bit of your post until you said “Wash it down with a diet coke”.
After all that good fatty food… your going with a “Diet” coke?
It’s akin to opening a parachute after you’ve already hit the ground.

我和你想的一样，并且喜欢你帖子的每一个观点，直到你说“用无糖可乐冲到肚子里”。 在吃完这道肥仔快乐餐后你居然选择了“无糖”可乐？ 这不是跟摔到地上再打开降落伞一样吗。

Is Chinese-3-in-1 more or less expensive than an average take-out meal?

这个中餐三合一是比带蔬菜的外卖更贵还是更便宜？

Supersolid
I would argue any food could be more expensive than just put fried rice and fried potato in a Tin paper box with Curry Sauce（not real Curry ，only Curry Sauce！：P

我敢说任何食物都会比只是把炸过的米和炸过的土豆跟咖喱酱一起放在一个锡纸盒子里贵！
