Chinese area:

Chinese is mainly used in China (mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan provinces) and overseas Chinese areas such as Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar.

Chinese can be roughly divided into simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese according to fonts. Simplified Chinese is the standard font used in Chinese mainland, Singapore and Malaysia. Traditional Chinese is widely used in China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Europe and America.

With the extensive cultural exchanges in China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have begun to show the coexistence of simplicity and complexity, but the official documents are traditional. Governments in Malaysia, Singapore and other countries promote simplified Chinese characters and use them in official documents, but people sometimes use traditional Chinese characters.
