China wants to fix the embarrassing English on Beijing's bilingual signs as part of an image make-over before it hosts the 2008 Olympics.

The Park of Ethnic Minorities is identified as "Racist Park." Emergency exits at Beijing international airport read "No entry on peacetime."

And drivers are warned about the hazards of a wet road with a sign that reads: "The slippery are very crafty."

All signs are to be corrected by 2007, the paper said.

Paul,
Doing sign work overseas in China was discussed here quite a while ago. I think that it was Dan Sawatsky that brought it up but I'm not sure.

Many good points not considered by the poster, were brought up about doing signs over there.
