IMHO it’s high time China and Japan went the enlightened Hangul way Korea took half a millennia ago. There’s no reason to keep to absurdity going any longer; even they don’t know how to type their own words and use pinyin as input. The Vietnamese way would also be easy with their explicit tones written on each vowel, however they lost the advantages that blocky characters offer.
