"Chinglish" to be Banned?

This would be a shame...
The authorities in the Chinese city of Shanghai are starting a campaign to try to spot and correct badly phrased English on signs in public places.
...but...
Shanghai wants to spruce up its image. It is expecting millions of visitors for the World Expo fair.
...I suspect this will be only temporary. As soon as the Fair is over, they'll go right back to providing fodder for hilarious pictures.
