Should I be embarrassed? I taught Japanese for 30 years (Inidiana
University, University of Hawaii) and it never occurred to me that one of
those styles was Chinese, and maybe I should point out the difference to my
students.

In fact, the "Chinese" style is the only one used in my Ueda's _Daijiten_.
_Kangorin_ alternates between the two
apparently depending on whether the kanji is Jouyou or not.
