Yes. Chinese is today - especially in Chinese writing, very complex in how it has developed over centuries, and more so than in English it is complex and vaired in how words got and have the Chinese script for writing them.
To write excellent Chinese very fluently can require knowledge of up to 3,000 Chinese characters.
I think written Chinese will remain a “classical” written language, like Latin remains today, but in time, I think the practicalities and international intercourse of the advancing modern world, will cause English to be the adopted primary spoken language in China, just as Chinese script was once the official form of writing in many nations around China, and remains so (though modified) in Japan today.

Your Wiki link is a good explanation of the Chinese characters. Yes — I believe China will go to English but the country may be bi-lingual for a time.
I’ve studies the language, but have no one to practice with, so have forgotten a lot. When I pick up a practice book, I find myself always going to an etymology book to see an explanation of the character. always so fascinating.
One interesting fact about the Character language is that the persons speaking the different dialects around the country may not understand each other, but they all under stand the characters.
It is like the word “SQUARE”. In English we have a word for it and say — the French — have their own word for it. we may not understand each other, but we both recognize the picture of a square.
Languages! So interesting! Brain work!!
