China for the Chinese July 28, 2007

I doubt that there’s much of a push for official bilingualism in China.
BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese lawyer has sued McDonald’s in China for using mostly English, not Chinese, on its receipts, violating his right to information, media reported on Friday.
The lawyer, identified only as Shan, decided to take legal action against the world’s largest restaurant chain after he ate at two McDonald’s restaurants in Beijing in May and June.
“McDonald’s offers food service in China, but it does not use Chinese, which violates the consumers’ right to know,” the Beijing Youth Daily quoted Shan as saying.
You mean that there are such things as “rights” in China? Otherwise, I agree with this action. China is the only China that the Chinese have, (that is, until China officially annexes California, Vancouver, B.C., and southeastern Siberia), so the Chinese language and none other should be pervasive in China.
