Crackdown on Chinglish


I found this story quite amusing. In the run up to the 2008 Beijin Olympics, China is clamping down on bad English [news.bbc.co.uk], currently often seen in places were English is mis-translated from the Chinese, such as on street signs or menus.

Some of the examples were great

Emergency exits at Beijing airport read "No entry on peacetime" and the Ethnic Minorities Park is named "Racist Park".
