Fun fact: simplified Chinese as a policy began under KMT rule in the 1930s and CPC merely continued it after 1949. KMT being the sore losers they are went back on their own policy just so they would be different from PRC.

现在我们通用的是1986年重新发布的《简化字总表》(简称《总表》),《总表》曾经颁布过两次,一次是1964年颁布的,文革时期曾推出过《第二次汉字简化方案》,但很快就遭到反对,于是到1986年6月,国务院又宣布“二简字”停止使用。今天的《总表》总共收录了2235个字。

近代汉字简化运动,源于太平天国,为了提升识字率,在太平天国玉玺及官方文件都书写简体。经非正式统计,太平天国总共使用一百多个简体字,其中80%为后来采用(当代中国的文字改革第38页)。

简体字在1935年开始推行的1935年8月,当时的中华民国教育部公布了《第一批简体字表》,收简体字324个。这是中国政府第一次大规。推行简化汉字。

1954年中国文字改革委员会成立。第一次由政府正式公布并成功得到贯彻实施的简体字方案和字表,是1956年由中华人民共和国国务院公布的《汉字简化方案》,并最终制定出了一个《简化字总表》。

It looks like a journey. But systematic usage by laws started in new China.

Yes, I found an apparent copy of manifesto. Politically it's not really anything I haven't read before. An excerpt to give you a little of the flavour of the insights:

Sadiq Khan, The current mayor of London at the time of writing, an open sign of the disenfranchisement and ethnic replacement of the British people in the British isles. This Pakistani muslim invader now sits as representative for the people of London. Londinium, the very heart of the British isles. What better sign of the white rebirth than the removal of this invader?"
Let me tell you something. The West is going to get brownized in the coming century. Their dependence on immigration is massive and European natives' birth rates are horrible. Yes white replacement is a white supremacist theory but it is a reality that Europe and North America will have substantial "colored" populations that are more than just minorities. The white population in the USA going below 50% of the total population as soon as 2050. This is why I laugh at these white supremacists who dream of white-only countries. It seems the ultimate legacy of colonial empires will be white countries becoming mixed-race countries. Ironic...

What bothers me is how the young viets (east asians in general) are snuggling up to daddy america, like cmon they raped your daughters, killed millions of your kin, dropped chemical weapons on you and you still have miss births from that, mined the shit out of you, so that every week somebody loses his foot. They consider you and your kin as "yellow swine", with their white freaks going for sextourism in your countries raping your precious daughters for worthless dollars, primitively seeking your youngest girls, still some east asians love to suck muricas pp...
There is an old saying about the Vietnamese: "They snuggle up to whoever can provide mother's milk." (i.e., whoever as the deepest pockets and richest, they will consider them their mother)

For the Japanese, they have traditionally aligned with the most powerful international state actor on the world stage, whether it was Imperial China in antiquity, British empire in WW1, Nazi Germany in WW2, or USA during Cold War.

As @Overbom, as China gets richer and richer, more wealthy, and more powerful, the Vietnamese, Japanese, and Koreans will compete to lick China's bumhole again just like antiquity.

Example: I'm HKer with US citizenship, I'm a staunch pro-China nationalist, but anyone with a brain can tell China is a future superpower and richest nation on earth in future.

Unrest sweeps Iran over the government’s decision to slash food subsidies, causing a spike in costs

he scrapping of subsidies has resulted in dramatic – up to 300% – increases in prices of everyday goods, such as cooking oil, chicken, eggs and milk.

Iran’s official inflation rate stands at around 40% with almost half the country’s 82 million-strong population now living below the poverty line.

Looks like Iran gonna topple themselves.

VOA reports that leaked Chinese police database show nearly 30,000 Uyghurs are imprisoned in Xinjiang.

There are 12M Uyghurs in Xinjiang. So 30,000 incarcerated works out to an incarceration rate of ~0.25%. For comparison, the incarceration rate of African Americans in the US is 2.3%, nearly 10 times that of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang!

True. But it sounds like you are trying to say that the simplified characters were solely implemented by the PRC. Aside from @Temstar ’s post, simplified characters were actually based on 草书, which started from, I believe, the Jin dynasty. Simplified characters were inevitable.

As for the intellectuals aspect, Feng Youlan and Xiong Shili stayed in the PRC and they were considered some of China’s top philosophical intellectuals.

The one thing I do agree with you is Mao’s policies that had a huge negative impact on China’s culture, particularly the Cultural Revolution.
