It's the time to compete who is the lazier 
Back to the topic, the rumor has been on internet since this summer. I certainly hope it is just another stupid decision which would finally get aborted like the "Green Dam" (the Green Dam was a software developed to be installed obligatorily to help purify the internet environment in China, but it was not passed due to the strong opposition from the public) .
I am super super disappointed lots of rules and principles in China are made by a bunch of [Mod Edit] who sit in an office everyday, probably have a degree in " writing poems" and a title as some �expert" (from 1940s).
Its such a pain for me(as a science major) to convert the Chinese science terms I was taught in school into English when I first came to Korea...
Hopefully in 3018, Chinese will be the official science language in the world and then I would agree their decision is right. |

As opposed to character simplification? Traditional characters are far more beautiful and meaningful than simplified equivalents. The idea that they went ahead with that cultural butchery, and then decide to make a stand against internationally-used acronyms is ridiculous. |

I don't care.
All I care are the American National Basketball Association games on the China Central Television channel 5 .

She's talking about a government, and the Chinese government in particular. Her remarks seem restrained to me. |

You apparently don't know what she said. It was disparaging remark generally used about group of people (and I'm not talking about the Chinese government). |

The government has to change. Its not young/flexible and its not in touch with today. She's right, its from a different age. |

The Mods edited it out! The "[Mod Edit]" was a very inappropriate slur that has nothing to do with the Chinese government. It's a highly offensive slur regardless of its content. |
