Or even better Simplified Chinese which people of all Chinese dialects on the mainland can read.
From my understanding, Mandarin is a spoken dialect and there is no such thing as "written Mandarin." Simplified Chinese is one of two common written forms of Chinese.
That's basically correct, although there are certain phrases and grammatical patterns that don't quite match up in Mandarin/Cantonese - most will try to avoid those.
That's what I was getting at
