I don't get it, in the Japanese dub they call the place Chobu, but in the English dub Niaowu? All the signs say Niaowu in English, but then you've got Chobu-chan toys scattered all over the place.

Am I missing something? Is Chobu the name of the region, and Niaowu is the town? Or vice versa?
 
Pretty much this

So basically, its assumed that Choubu was always going to be called Niaowu from the beginning. The reason for this is because Baisha and Bailu are both pronunciations of the characters in native Chinese, and Choubu is not. Choubu is the Japanese pronunciation of Niaowu. The reason why Choubu is the only one of the three being written in its Japanese pronunciation, is probably because its a fictional town, and the developers didn't know how to write it down in Chinese.
