Dear Mr. Bloom,

You are correct this is the first authorized publication in the People’s Republic of Communist China PRCC (simplified script characters), with the complex character edition published in Taiwan many years ago. I have forwarded your messages to Alison Flood, the inaccurate reporter at the often sloppy Guardian

Best,
