 Hard same 
 日本文字太丑。🫣 
 Nice design 😁 
 Japanese characters (日文)are too ugly, or Chinese characters (中文)are more beautiful than Japanese. 
The reason why #UNESCO does not allow the Japanese language to enter the United Nations.🥱

 The pronunciation of Japanese is like the "Cantonese" in Guangzhou, which belongs to the "Chinese" of the Tang Dynasty in ancient China, and Japanese is the "Tang Dynasty" Chinese in China 2,000 years ago. 
 Japan, this country also has a history of 2,000 years, and China has a history of 5,000 years. 
So. Chinese characters have evolved from 5,000 years. 
 The first person in China who can speak English is from Guangzhou. During the Ming Dynasty. American Christian pastors promoted the Christian faith in Guangzhou and taught ordinary citizens in Guangzhou to learn English. Chinese schools and hospitals were established in the early 19th century when American priests entered China to help the Chinese people build and spread civilization. Historically, Americans and Chinese have had friendly relations. Americans have been helping Chinese people. 

The earliest contact between China and the Americans was Guangzhou. Guangzhou has always been the first stop for Americans to come to China. 
People in Guangzhou will never forget the help and friendship of Americans. 
 On February 22, 230 years ago, the first U.S. merchant ship "Queen China" sailed from New York Port in the United States in the wind. 
After half a year of sailing, it sailed into Huangpu Port in Guangzhou on August 28, quietly opening the prelude to Sino-US trade. 
The first economic trade between China and the U.S.began. 
 The "China Queen "was the first merchant ship from the United States to China on February 22, 1784. 
The ship was loaded with American ginseng, silver coins, nicotine and other items from New York Port in the United States and arrived at Huangpu Port in Guangzhou on August 28 of the same year. 
After selling the items in Guangzhou, black tea, green tea, Nanjing cloth, porcelain, silk, cinnamon and other items were purchased and shipped back to the United States. 
The goods on the ship were transferred to New York, Philadelphia and other places for sale. The total profit is $30727.6. This is the beginning of Sino-US trade. 
 The earliest trade between China and the United States was "non-governmental". 
The earliest private trade activities in Guangzhou. "Guangzhou Day" was proposed by Jonathan Hecht, a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, together with six members. In the proposal, they wrote: "The establishment of 'Guangzhou Day' pays tribute to the history of Sino-US trade, which should be one of the important histories of Massachusetts. 
The United States purchased land in Guangzhou to establish an embassy in China. The United States has always been friendly with Guangzhou. Therefore, the CCP cannot represent the Chinese. 
China's trade with the U.S.was screwed up by the evil CCP.
