This is why I'm seriously considering learning Chinese. Next 50 years won't be US lead.

When senior government officials are spending time & public mindshare/attention on whether a particular font is or is not diverse then you know it is game over.

The details don't matter...this being a topic at all is the news

Read up on the state of the Chinese economy, it’s not a given they’ll be in the drivers seat long term either.

You certainly won't have to worry about them changing fonts as easily...

pushing for more literacy at scale is usually a good thing.

this approach is garbage, but i find your second line a bit odd.

it is also funny you bring up china because china changed their entire character system for diversity reasons (less educated people couldn't read).
