I suggest you contact IBM, which has done a lot of work in China.  You
should also read the 11/21/88 edition of the Seybold Report on
Publishing Systems, Vol. 18, No. 5, "IPEX, Part III: Non-Roman
Languages Take Center Stage."  An excerpt from that article reads,
"HTS [High Technology Systems, an industry leader] uses the so-called
'Dr. Zhi' method of typing Chinese, whereby four basic elements (out
of a set of 180) are used to construct a character.  Some common
characters can be entered with a single keystroke."
