Chinese? Damn. I don't know enough about their culture to make fun of that.

Now, if it was japanese, I'd probably say something like...

"SUPAH QBASICSU X!!!!!"

But I guess I can't now.

Technically speaking, Kanji is the "common alphabet" between the Chinese and Japanese languages...although it's barely an alphabet...it's as much an alphabet as the Egyptian hieroglyphics. The Japanese also have Hiragana and Katakana, and often times, Japanese is portrayed in Romanji (Japanese with the Phoenican alphabet, which is used in English, Spanish, French, Latin, Italian, etc), especially when dealing with non-Asian cultures (it's easier for us to read Romanji than to read even something as simple as Katakana).
I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.

um... hieroglyphics *were* an alphabet. Actually, it's a normal alphabet, a syllable alphabet like Romanji, and a picture language. It had characters for all those things.

Also, it is becoming debateable whether or not China is still a communist nation.

And if China did take over Windows.... well, they couldn't make it worse, could they?

Why would they when they could copy it illegally anywhere. Most of the pirated stuf that goes here come from China. ;*)
