Instead of Chinese language emerging like it did OTL with each character meaning a word, what would happen if they developed one like the one used by The Romans or Greeks and have it evolve from there...

A few things i would like to know mostly:

First is how this would affect the Asian cultures who go their written language from the Chinese, like Japan.

Second is why this was inspired by the printing press thread, with the whole movable type blocks and such having been around for so long, would a Language more suited towards its use spark an information revolution in China?
