Simplified Chinese
From Conservapedia
Simplified Chinese is the official writing system in the People's Republic of China and is one of the official writing systems of Singapore. Some 2,000 commonly used Chinese characters were made simpler (i.e., able to be written with fewer strokes) in 1949 as an attempt to increase literacy. The simplified characters are also used in Singapore, but in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia and throughout the Chinese diaspora, the traditional characters are still in use.
