The Peoples republic of China developed the simplified characters in an effort to make writing and reading more accessible to the whole populace. It means, thzat for some (not all) characters of the writing the number of strokes is reduced. To demonstrate this, look at this image:

These are the characters for chinese language. The first two refer to it as Hanyu (language of the han). The top row writes it in traditional characters, the second row the same as simplified. The third row stands for Zhongwen (chinese language), an alternative way to translate chinese language. I think in this case traditional and simplified characters are identical.

Simplified is the official writing in mainland China and Singapore, traditional in Taiwan.

You beat me to the answer... I would just add that traditional Chinese is also used in Hong Kong and Macau

Wasn't sure about that, that's why I left it out. Thanks for the addition.
