>bring back traditional Chinese characters
The Japanese people, through their democratically-elected representatives, chose to simplify many of their Kanji characters[0].
Should Japan also be forced to bring back traditional Japanese Kanji characters as well? What about Singapore[1]? I'm a little lost on which countries need to bring back their traditional characters and which needn't.

- tony 7y agoI'm not familiar with Singapore or Japan. I think it's a different topic at that point, not familiar with anyone advocating it in this thread or anywhere else. They probably have different rationale behind simplification though. Even then, it was before the advent of computers / IMEs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_method https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_method)
