Summary

Chinglish offers a humorous and insightful look at misuses of the English language in Chinese street signs, products, and advertising. A long-standing favourite of English speaking tourists and visitors, Chinglish is now quickly becoming a cultural relic: preparation for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, the Chinese government is determined to wipe out incorrect English usage.
