This is a very big problem. Even if it is done now, the results will not be seen because everyone is dead. However, let’s talk about it objectively:
Becoming a superpower is very slow, maybe, but extremely slow. The reason is that this culture is not an expansion culture, but an autistic culture. For example, Zheng He's voyages to the West were not adventures or tours, but to show off that he was a great nation and so on. In the end, he returned to his hometown, and his son did not die a good death. Also, future generations cannot surpass their predecessors. For example, Laozi's "Tao Te Ching" is not more advanced than it so far, and the same is true for Confucius's "The Analects". If future generations cannot surpass their predecessors, progress will be slow, and very slow.
English itself is the language of the invaders. It has its own aggressiveness, that is, expansion, but it is constantly simplified, making it almost the easiest language to learn (except for those who can speak Chinese, because many officials do not I hope everyone will learn to learn and teach English as Chinese). It is predicted that by 2050, half of the world's residents will speak English to varying degrees, while in 1985, only one-third. But the Chinese people suffer because most English teaching methods are methods of teaching English into Chinese, and they don’t want everyone to learn English.
Research shows that in the initial stage of learning Chinese, Chinese children reach the same level of writing three years later than those using English letters and other Roman letters, and these three years are basically spent practicing writing Chinese characters. Of course, my writing skills will be the same after three years.
Zhao Yuanren made a very important point in his "Language Issues", which is equivalent to saying that Chinese is the fastest reading language in the world. Please note that it is writing, not speaking, not listening, and not writing. , and just read. However, there is a condition, that is, you must be able to read so fast! It is almost impossible for foreigners to reach that level! At the same time, just because most Chinese people can read Chinese very quickly, they cannot learn English!
There are also many very interesting factors. One person has already mentioned it, that is, many people think that "Kanji" is Japanese, and it is called "When Using Kanji". Moreover, North and South Korea are still striving to list many cultures related to Chinese characters as their own heritage. Even a 1987 bestseller in the United States mentioned that North Korean education requires students to memorize the "Four Books" and "Five Classics". It is very likely that the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" will become North Korean/South Korean soon! In that case, even if Chinese is popular, it will still be North Korean/Korean!
There is a well-known problem called the Needham Problem. One of the reasoning is why the principles of China's early inventions cover 40% of the world's current patents, but there are no "Chinese patents"? The reason is very simple. The Chinese, in ancient times, do not keep their own inventions, or even repeat inventions. Not to mention any patents. If there really was a 5,000-year-old patent law established by Chinese ancestors, 40% of the world's patent revenue would now go to China!
All these factors make it very slow for Chinese culture to become a powerful country, and it is also very difficult for Chinese characters to replace English!
However, no matter what, those who read the poster’s question and those who answered it will never see that day.
Live well!
