Is there any merit in a letter-based Chinese writing system running parallel with the existing character system?
I was wondering if there has been any discussion about introducing a letter-based Chinese writing system to run parallel with the existing character system. What are your thoughts on this?
There have been some discussions about this topic in the past, but it's not a widely accepted idea. The Chinese character system has a long history and cultural significance, and many people are reluctant to give it up completely.
