No laughing, it's Chinglish - News - Travel - smh.com.au: "Linguistic cleansing is ridding Beijing of its unintentionally hilarious English translations, writes Karen Halabi.


Chinese authorities are close to completing a linguistic cleansing that began last year when Beijing launched a campaign to rid the city of bad English and stop the world laughing.
