Yeah, seems likely that it was written in another language, although I'm not sure we can linguistically tie this down to China. (As noted above the elipses could just have easily come from a Japanese keyboard).

I'm looking up what I can on Mandarin specifically. Mandarin is usually SVO, occasionally SOV (SVO is the same as English, "I drink Juice", so we're unlikely to catch too much here).

Mandarin places indirect object before the direct object ("give me book" -- in english it would be "give me the book"). This contrasts it from other mainland languages like cantonese (which are "give book me" -- in english this would be like "give the book to me")

Mandarin places adverbs before verbs, e.g. "I first go", rather than "I go first".

Mandarin places adjectives after the noun, e.g. "wind strong", rather than "strong wind"

Alright, now let's go to the Blizzard writing to see if we can catch any slips or a pattern...and the blizzard announcement seems to be gone? What? Is it just me? EDIT: ok, nvm found a link that works; I'll start a new post.
