  It won't happen. That script belongs exclusively to Taiwan.
  
  Taiwan is to China what Ukraine is to Russia.

  I think this won't happen since fan ti zi is easier to learn for Sporeans.

  Fail O -level, cause u do nt have time to write that many strokes..
  
  if u use 'jian ti zi' right, u only needa take 3 seconds perword, but
  with 'fan ti zi' hor, it takes 6 seconds, that means u will be half as fast while using 'fan ti zi' and that means DIE!
