Right, the problem is that the phenomenon of dyslexia is just not
applicable to the non-phonetic (purely symbolic) writing systems.
That does in no way mean that analphabetism is less of a problem.

While I have to learn 26 letters plus pronunciation rules (which
are not quite as horrendous as the English/American, but still a
bit of work; I envy the Italian people here), educated Chinese
people learn approximately 4000 Symbols (I am told).
