一周新闻回顾，中国终于要给公共英语标识制定标准啦

Welcome to 'Today' - an hour of world news and analysis -- from a different perspective. I'm Su Yi

Coming up in this weekend edition, we will have a conversation about news stories happening this week that are worth another look.

①A recent report about a Chinese boy without an English name was rejected by his peers has gone viral online.

②China releases nationwide standards to improve English signage

③China punishes drivers for not giving way to pedestrians¹

④China cracks down on toothpick crossbow toys

For more on this, we are now joined on the line by my colleague Manling, host of A light on literature and Language Café as well as Zhao Hai, Research Fellow of the National Strategy Institute at Tsinghua University.
