Chinanews, Mar. 24 - The United Nations made a decision that it would use simplified Chinese as the only Chinese characters after 2008. Nowadays the UN accepts two versions of Chinese characters, namely the traditional Chinese and the simplified Chinese.
Mr. Zhou Youguang, a reputed Chinese linguist, (use elbow think oso noe where he is from lah~)points out that the future application of simplified Chinese will justify the simplification of Chinese characters, which has won majority approval throughout the world. At the same time, as China becomes more influential in the globe, a larger number of people will learn Chinese. Under this circumstance, simplified Chinese will gradually become the exclusive standard of Chinese characters.
Regarding the application of simplified Chinese in other regions congregating Chinese people except for the mainland, experts indicate that many schools in Hong Kong have promoted putonghua education. Though the HK Special Administrative Region government has not made a specific policy, the public are paying more attention to putonghua education. In addition, some Taiwanese also use simplified Chinese. (why dun they put in the actual statistics??)
Experts add that based on a survey report of strength of world's major languages in 2005, Chinese language ranked second on the list. To date, China has set up 40 Confucius Institutes abroad to promote Chinese language education among foreigners.
WTH!!!! Ok~~ I am DAMN 不爽 about this for a few reasons....
1) Why issit that the UN (consist of more than 90%?? non chinese) is deciding whether 繁體字 can be used or not???
2) Must ppl really SUCK UP to China to this extent just because its going to become a Superpower!!! 我看不起這些人!!!!!
"as China becomes more influential in the globe, a larger number of people will learn Chinese. Under this circumstance, simplified Chinese will gradually become the exclusive standard of Chinese characters." GO TO HELL!!!
3) Are economical values the ONLY thing ppl use in making this decision??? What about the cultural value??? Seriously!!! I dun think anybody will care about what are the Chinese traditions anymore~~ Not even Chinese from China!!! This is SO 可悲~~ Just imagine, in future, we will all be celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas and no more Lunar New Year...
Yeah man!! Isn't this cool or what? huh! yoyo! so we are all gonna be fake angmohs yah?
"To date, China has set up 40 Confucius Institutes abroad to promote Chinese language education among foreigners."
~~ hmmm~~ I really wonder what how Confucius will feel if he knows about this!! My guess?? Jump up from his tomb?? Already many of his actual words are lost even when we use traditional chinese!! So now only simplified Chinese?? HA!! Fine!! nx time we will have to put 2 chinese characters together to get 1 word!! Just like --> (木亏)/(木兑)???
It may be difficult to read and write... But it looks far better that those simplified characters with just a few strokes loh!! just look at 關 and 关 man!!!! The simplified character is absolutely meaningless loh!!!
Yes!! rite now, I am cursing the damn 五四運動!!!! Liberation?? HA!!! yeah man~ liberation that leads to stupidity, laziness and loss of traditions. Why issit that ppl have to be so obstinated with political conflicts such that traditions have to be sacrificed?
I noe its useless and pointless for me to made comments over such matters... Precisely because it is useless that make me so damn frustrated and pissed off!! AARRGGG!!!
No matter what!!! I am still going to use 繁體字 no matter WHAT. I admit I am still not able to write as well as 簡體字，but I promise I will in near future!!
The dear government of a farawary Peasantland kept emphasizing on the importance of chinese traditions~~ “为了保留我们华人的传统文化，我们应该努力地学习话语” HA!!!!! Yah rite man!!! If they are SO CONCERNED about keeping the Chinese traditions, will the peasants still be using simplified characters in Chinese lessons?? So cut the crap yah?? The whole world noes that the peasants are learning Chinese because of just ONE country... If today, this ONE country decided to pick-up traditional Chinese characters again, you will hardly find a text written in Chinese Simplified characters tomorrow! Oh yes~~~ government of that faraway Peasantland is VERY EFFECTIVE!!! (when it comes to $$$$$ of course)

Although I agree that language is always evolving, I prefer traditional chinese characters. One thing, those were the result of hundreds (even thousands) years of use. The simplified characters were simply based on these. Learning the traditional characters will give you more insight to the meaning of the word. 只 and 隻 is used differently but the same word 只is used for simplified chinese.
