我是台灣人在美國長大的。目前在上海/南京(大陸)去讀大學。我會跟外國人一齐上課。說到中文字,真正中國人是用繁軆字;但我写的是日本漢字。

中國台灣:中華民國
中國大陸:中华民国
日本:中華民国

inb4: mainland chinese stole Japanese kanji..

国,图,迟 etc.

kanji? we have our own characters/ language..the chinese first created the characters thousand years ago
dont you see how japanese, korean and chinese look similar? thats because they were all chinese long long time ago (korea was a client state of china) until they wanted to split up and form thwir own countries and make up languages that the writing are all simlair (all asian characters and the languages pronunced like noises)


In the earliest times, chinese was traditional. When it spread to Koreas & Japan, the writing changed. Somehow, Korean turned into triangles, circles, lines. However, Japan kept 95% of the chinese characters (kanji) alive.

Now, I'm pointing out that most simplified chinese characters were stolen from Japan.

I would say that "stole" is not a very good word choice in this case. Japan and Korea both had their own language before Chinese, since linguistically they are considered separate from each other. However, at some point in history, both Japan and Korea borrowed characters from China which is why in these two countries you can see Chinese characters. However, as time pass, China also happened to borrow words and characters from e.g. Japan "back", so it's all mixed up.

Just as a random fact, Simplified Chinese was used by mainland China so that education can be more wide spread since it would be "easier", in a way that people won't need to spend that much time in remembering complicated characters.
