Chinglish by Oliver Lutz Radtke

"Chinglish" humorously documents English language mistakes in Chinese signage and products--a cultural phenomenon that began disappearing as the government worked to correct language errors before the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

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