This same phenomenon is present in western languages. Except instead of being unable to write difficult characters, the sufferers are just generally idiots.

They have no knowledge of navigation in the citries they grew up in, they have reduced ability in face-to-face human interaction, they suffer major inability in understanding that the physical world is the universal host of all of their "virtual" reality including the corporate products they concieve of as "community" and the chatbots they think of as "friends".
