That is definitely true for traditional Chinese characters, but it breaks down with the simplified characters.
Some simplified characters remove or change radicals, or the whole character changes dramatically, so the phonetic portion may no longer be there or is not apparent.
Ironically, the traditional characters are easier to learn to read and understand (maybe not to write) than the simplified ones.
I don't know of a single person where I work who does not know how to use a browser already. My employer spends nothing to support browser (IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome) users.
How much does your company spend to support browser users?
Look at worker productivity, not just labour cost for each unit of time.
It is not so easy to compare Chinese manufacturing to US manufacturing, because there are not too many things produced in both countries in the same way.

If you read statements she has made (in The Seattle Times, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, The Stranger, Crosscut, etc.), Sen. Prentice comes across as a moron (IQ below 69).

Tibet has been a part of China for over 3000 years. You really should only complain about the last 60 years.
They'd rather commit nationwide mass ritual suicide.
Here you are confusing China and Japan.
What is there in rural WA?
There are agriculture and food processing jobs.
But I'm not sure what that has to do with the rest of your comment.

Picnik employees now commute to downtown Seattle -- easily accessible on buses, trains, and ferries from much of four counties.
They will be moving to Google's offices in Fremont (North Seattle).
I'm guessing many of them who did not drive to work will soon have to do so. Here comes more traffic!
You know what they say:
As goes Utah, so goes the nation.
I just hope the laws of nature don't try to supersede the proclamations of the Utah State Assembly.
Orion's dick
Do you have any details? Or is this just something you overheard?
Did any of those other countries ever make a movie like this?
I think it is funny that people say "you don't have those rights at border crossings", and yet that isn't even the government contention.
The US Constitution does not say that the Bill of Rights is null at border crossings.
Stoner v. California
I think I sat next to that guy the last time I flew to the Bay Area.
The Slovakian approach is elegant, if somewhat immoral.
You need to consider Slovakian morals.
Look at worker productivity, not just labour cost for each unit of time.

And the problem with putting non-techies in charge of tech companies, concludes Lyons, is that they have blind spots.
Just like putting non-engineers in charge at Boeing, eh?
Of course, that was done by the same group that drove McDonnell Douglas into the ground.
Let me guess. . . You built a time machine for your graduate research, right?
If we launch from Cape Canaveral, we only risk contaminating Central Florida.
Anyone can arise to compete with a corporation, even a monopoly.
Try doing that to your government.
Flag Day?
We were always out of school the first week of June.
We never even knew (or cared) about Flag Day.
The real story is that "law enforcement" can seize property at all.
It's your government. Do you really condone property seizures?
First rule of Science Club:
Don't talk about Science Club!
they twitter about their bowel movements...
If you can't get privacy, overwhelm them with shit.
. . . to methamphetamine, which no one with a straight face could ever say should be legal
Wrong. With a straight face, I say all drugs (including methamphetamines) should be legal.
Rather than building a brand new $300 million data center, why not put state servers in an existing data center?
The legislators are right to question whether there is a lower-cost way to do this.
Maybe they need something like Slashdot for criminals. I can see it now. . .
Those with the lowest UIDs will be the OGs.
Everyone tries to get modded up for their criminal escapades.
