Almost all texts in maps are "Poultry Center(above)" or "high-voltage electricity/power line(not saved as screenshot)"...
And many are reversed, such as:

^It means: "regular army", just horizontally inversed...
Not a suggestion(no need to fix it), but just something that bothers a chinese player of PR.

What, never seen a poultry center shrine before??!
Blame EA, theyve been there from BF2
There's also a lot of "Water" kanji on things from what I remember. The reverse textures is a bit understandable in some cases, since textures are sometimes reversed on the opposite side of things[like helicopters/jets]

at first I thought you were loling at the smily face character. Poultry... how would you worship that. I've got it! It's the name of some dragon. Be afraid.

Wasn't that arch over a market in vBF2? In which case "Poultry centre" might make a little bit of sense? I dunno...

The sign at the bottom looks like a smiley.

If you turn the head clockwise by 45 degrees, it looks like a smiley face with a old-styled chinese beard.
