SC are not used in Kanji, and the folding is not particularly useful for Japan. In practice it would mean that registering a Kanji (TC) name in Japan would block the SC equivalent from being registered in China, and vice versa. From the Japanese perspective, excepting big multinational corporations, this is counterproductive, as it just reduces the number of names available.
