The Chinese word for "French fries" is 薯条 (shǔtiáo), which literally means "potato strips". The word 薯条 is composed of two characters: 薯 (shǔ), which means "potato", and 条 (tiáo), which means "strip". The word 薯条 was first used in the 19th century, when French fries were introduced to China by Westerners. The word 薯条 is now widely used in China to refer to French fries.
