It's true that many Chinese youth know little about geography beyond China nowadays, I should be sad for u to have met some even worse guy who

mistook Britain as a part of the USA, hehe, coz for us, you all speak English, and many of Americans original from Britain, so I guess that's why the

Chinese guy made the mistake. In contrary, how much you guys know China's geography? probably aslo quite weak.

It's also true that break the word Wisconsin down into chinese soundin syllabuls & no one will really question, but if you really want yourself

to be understood and speak beautiful Chinese, try to remember 威斯康星州(wei si kang xing zhou, all with pitch 1) is the correct Chinese words for

Wisconsin.

It's also hard to believe for us if china basing our system on the japanese one after the war. If it's true I won't blame, coz Han Zhi(kanji) is the culture

treasure for both of our 2 countries, we don't have to make our Han Zhi different bcoz we had difficult times. As long as it's for the good of our great

Han Zhi, we better seek common points while reserving difference. Not like Korea, having been using Chinese words for thousands of years, suddenly forbids any use of Han Zhi anymore, I don't know how do they show respect to their ancestors.
