Sounds like you encountered a SuperAWOS system. When flying, you click the mic three times for weather and runway information, four times for a radio check, and then somewhere around 5-6 clicks you can get the weather/runway information read to you in Chinese. It works great for weather and such, though it doesn't provide any services for separating you from other aircraft.

The SuperAWOS systems are made by a company called Potomac Aviation: https://potomac-aviation.com. David, the head of the company and owner/operator of Potomac Airfield (VKX) is an entertaining guy, his main website is trippy as hell: http://potomac-airfield.com.
