ill communication: China Mobile seeks copy editor **Urgent **Posted by Dror Poleg, November 27, 2006 11:01 AM
The following paragraph is taken from the about section of China Mobile’s English web site: Construction of the Three Civilization: New progresses were achieved in the development of corporate culture and fruitful results were seen on the spiritual civilization front, with the"331 Project" wrapped up as expected. 15 units were honored National Civilized Units; 58 units were named Model Units for Construction of National Spiritual Civilization. The number of National Civilized Youth Windows went up to 124. Seventeen employees were entitled National Model Workers, and one hundred employees were entitled Model Workers within the group. Any idea what the “331 project” is or what the “spiritual civilization front” of corporate culture and “National Civilized Youth Windows” mean? Please leave your suggestions in the comments section below. |

Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.

+ Lost in Beijing finally gets killed (2008.01): SARFT (广电总局) brings down the hammer on Lost in Beijing (苹果), one year after its offense. + People: Tina Liu (2004.09): Tina Liu is Hong Kong's most prominent image stylist, but her mercurial career has involved her in almost every aspect of Hong Kong's media world. + Asimov Published, Interviewed in Beijing (2005.03): Cover story from this week's Book Review section of The Beijing News announces the publication of a Chinese translation of Isaac Asimov's complete Foundation series. Yup, the Beijing News has scored a fictional interview with "I, Asimov". They've been taking similar liberties recently in their entertainment sections, captioning photographs of celebrities with made-up quotes.

dunno about the 311 project..but the later two..LOL.typical Chinglish..I suppose they mean 精神文明前沿阵地, 国家文明青年窗口
Meh.
Bog standard Chinglish.
Seen better. Seen much, much worse.
Hardly newsworthy.
There is news value in the fact that "bog standards" English appears on the site of the world's largest mobile carrier.
There is a lot of Chinglish in the world, but only one China Mobile.
