Hi Mary, I think the complexity of Chinese (and Korean, and Japanese) nets out as an advantage rather than a disadvantage. You are right that non-ideographic languages are far easier to learn and can express things more flexibly and more precisely. But difficult languages force young minds to exert themselves far more as they are trying to learn how to read and write, during their crucial formative years. And, I am convinced, this effort produces slightly more intelligent people, on the average -- Maurice has theories about this.
