Chinese people evolved to be smart because Mandarin has no alphabet. Every concept has a unique tag.

Not really. Chinese has a way of writing phonetically either using romanization as they do in the mainland now or by an older phonetic bopomopho system.

There's also the way of just using characters based on sound, like 三明治 Sanminzhi, read literally, three bright govern, nonsense. It means Sandwich. It's purely phonetic.

Plenty of retards in China learn to read anyway because it's actually not that hard. Westerners just see a mess of lines and get scared.

Chinese is pretty much the same as how ancient Egyptian or Mayan worked which is that the language has a meaning and a phonetic element in most characters. I think Chinese never evolved past the ideographic stage because of the need to govern a large territory with multiple different languages. In that way it's really the eastern equivalent of Latin.

Most languages go from pictographs and early civilizations developed ideographic forms of writing before those evolved into phonetic systems as they are easier to teach, once a phonetic system exists it usually supplants whatever writing system exists and spreads as other societies use it instead of going through the more difficult process of developing their own writing system from scratch. East Asia seems to be the exception to the rule. As everyone used Chinese early and developed their own kind of phonetics based on that.

Also even though the characters have meaning they don't actually mean the same thing across borders. Good example is the Chinese 手紙, literally hand paper, in China means toilet paper. In Japan means a letter.
