A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Tthe following is the actual output of getLocalPatternChar method of DateFormatSymbols with different locale.
    Locale.SIMPLIFIED_CHINESE GanjkHmsSEDFwWxhKzZ
    Locale.CHINESE GyMdkHmsSEDFwWahKzZ
    Locale.CHINA GanjkHmsSEDFwWxhKzZ

But I think the output of these three locale should be same.
All should be "GyMdkHmsSEDFwWahKzZ ".

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
yy-m-d
ACTUAL -
aa-n-j

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
Locale myLocale = new Locale("zh", "CN");
SimpleDateFormat sdf;
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT,myLocale);
sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();

try{
sdf = (SimpleDateFormat)df;
}
catch(ClassCastException ee)
{
 sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
}
 
String format = sdf.toLocalizedPattern();
System.out.print(format);

CLDR has removed the support for localized patterns few weeks ago. Consulted this request with native chinese speakers.
Per their information they use english letters for patterns in simplified and traditional chinese.
Removing respective entry from all chinese resources, let them use those from english.
