[quote=JSUMMERS83,301978]I agree with BBQQ, it doesn't look like a political maneuver on the U.N.'s part. It would be a both ridiculous and confusing to keep both types of characters. I disagree, however, with the notion that traditional characters will be alive for much longer as an everyday written language. Sure Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau still use them, but it seems like every mainland citizen under the age of 30 can't read them. On the flip side, most every person who reads traditional characters is more than able to understand the simplified. It seems only logical to believe that since mainland China is the driving economical force in this region, all business transactions will be (and mostly are) done in simplified Chinese. So as the past couple of decades have proven, this just leads to a diminishing use of traditional characters until one day..."poof". Students will only study it as a key to understanding the roots of their written language.[/quote]
