The number of Esperanto speakers has dropped in China considerably in the=
=20
last decades.
Esperanto leaders say it's all because it's hard for native Chinese=20
speakers to learn Latin alphabet and understand that each symbol doesn't=20
represent any semantic element but rather just a (usually) meaningless=20
sound.

That's why I'm happy that Lojban doesn't have any official writing system.

Here is a draft of h=C3=A0nz=C3=AC (Chinese symbol)-based Lojbanic writing =
method.

1. Every gismu and it's corresponding rafsi are represented using one=20
symbol usually taken from h=C3=A0nz=C3=AC table.
e.g. {melbi} is =E7=BE=8E  (pronounced as melbi, but in the original Chines=
e script=20
it's mei3 that means "beautiful")
=E6=9B=B4 - zmadu (in hanzi it means "more" or "to change")
1a. Rafsi are written with exactly the same symbols but may be pronounced=
=20
in a short form (not only {melb}, but {mle}, {mle} too)
2. Lujvo are written by joining several gismu together using simple=20
character. For now I suggest caret (^) but it might be changed.
e.g.=20
=E7=BE=8E^=E6=9B=B4 - mlemau
3. Personal names are written using jbopomofo or standard Chinese methods=
=20
(using rare symbols with predefined sounding to represent certain sounds=20
instead of meaning)
