So if
your
community
or
children's
school
is
planning
to teach
Chinese,
you may
wish to
ensure
that you
are
getting
the
traditional
variety.
It more
fully
encompasses
the rich
history
of China
and the
Chinese
people.
By
contrast,
those
who
teach
our
children
simplified
Chinese
are from
mainland
China
and
unfortunately,
they
will
also be
passing
on the
values
and
ideas of
the
Chinese
Communist
Party.
Whether
they do
so on
purpose
or
automatically
as a
result
of
growing
up in
that
environment,
the end
result
is the
same.
Only you
can
decide
if you
want the
influence
of the
Chinese
Communist
Party
imparted
to your
children.
Be
sure to
insist
that our
children
are
taught
traditional
Chinese
and not
the
simplified
version.
This way
the
richness
of
traditional
Chinese
culture
can be
more
fully
enjoyed
and
appreciated.
There
will be
a more
solid
foundation
to
understand
the more
ancient
Chinese
traditions. Author David Snape writes for All Things Pondered: http://allthingspondered.com - where you can have your say and (almost) anything is pondered. He also writes for To Be Informed: http://tobeinformed.com - a site supportive of health, fitness and wellness.
