@TerminalAutism @Misato @matana Taiwan are the Chinese that didn't want to have anything to do with Mao's communist regime, and took the entire 4 olds (old culture, old customs, old habits, and old ideas) with them, so of course they didn't get through the simplification process.
The other one being Honk Konk and Macao, as they were still colonialized under European rule (HK = UK, Macao = Portugal) at the time, so they too never received any Maoist influence, as by the time those areas were handed back to CHAINA!!, Mao was long dead anyway, and they were already in the process of opening up more and more until Winnie The Pooh became president for life.
