I n effect, the two sentences above show examples of Chinglish and China English respectively.What do you know about Chinglish? Jing Xiao and Zuo Niannian define Chinglish in CELEA Journal as a portmanteau of the words Chinese and English and refers to spoken or written English which is influenced by Chinese. Usually, we can find these Chinglish in various public signs. For example, a warning sign Beijing about crafty slippery: "TO TAKE NOTICE OF SAFE. THE SLIPPERY ARE VERY CRAFTY." In fact, it should be “Be careful, slippery slopes.” Another example, when something is explained, the English learner may respond with "Oh, I know," while theappropriate response would be "Oh, I see." This is because " zhīdao" is usually translated as “know” regardless of context.In terms of grammatical accuracy, Chinglish seems not satisfactory. Chinglish reflects the influence of Chinese syntax and grammar; in Chinese, verbs are not conjugated and there is no equivalent word for "the."

Ke, an expert in English expression, is the first person who put forward the concept of China English.

For example, there are “imperial examinations”, “May Fourth Movement”, “Mr. Science” and “Mr. Democracy”, Three Representatives and so forth.Presently, Chinglish is getting more and more attention, so does China English. China has been under the spotlight of the whole world. With the announcement of financial strategies and politics proposal, China creates new words. The frequently heard word like “8 percent protection” is a popular term to describe the central government's drive to achieve an 8 percent growth rate of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2009. “One country, two systems”, a policy put forward by the late chairman Deng Xiaoping now is widely accepted and approved by the reunion of Hong Kong and Macau.Compared with Chinglish and China English, they share similarities. They are both invented by Chinese on the basis of English. They both obviously have syntax mistakes. They both get the native speakers’ heads in cloud at first sight.In most of the case, they are different. One is a commendatory term and the other derogatory. China English receive a comparatively high reputation. English speakers welcome such kind of English as if Chinese embrace words like “coca-cola” and “cool”. Unlike China English, a majority of Chinglish are looked down upon. That is the reason why Beijing made an all-out effort to replace the unsatisfied Chinglish in menus, public signs with clear English in preparation of the 2008 Olympics. One is put forward officially by politicians while the other created informally by ordinary people. China English are used by even professional linguistic experts because they cannot find better ways to make understood. On the other hand, Chinglish are often blamed by scholars.
