Stupefying English signs in China photographed by the Western media
Along with China’s continuous economic development, our country’s internationalization is quickly increasing. To meet and adapt to these new changes, many places have begun to use signs in both Chinese and English. However, given that our country’s ordinary people’s English language level needs to be improved, hilarious and stupefying English signs can easily be seen all around. Just how stupefying are these stupefying translations? Let’s take a look at the photographs “New York Times” and “Der Spiegel” journalists have taken on the streets of China.
I am not sure if these photos were really taken by Western media.

Speechless.

A little bad, but not exactly shameful.

What this shows us is that we are uneducated/uncultured. Very frightening.

This shows us: Why have English signs, why not Pinyin signs?
7号辐射:
The entire country learns English, yet only a few are actually able to use English. Unless you specialize [in English], it is not used in normal situations.
飘着飞翔:
They’re just for our own people to look at, what do foreigners care?
缥缈风云寒:
I have never, don’t, and will never understand [English]. I am not learning and do not plan to learn the language, so I also don’t care if the language is right or wrong.

I hope in the future all foreigners will speak Chinglish!

Lou zhu, you fucking foreign worshipper, so what if they are wrong? Even if they are wrong they are on Chinese soil. Foreigners can like it or not, but I refuse to change, it is my territory so I will do things my way!
