The Chinese have done a lot of thinking about this themselves and I don't know of any real efforts to promote a phonetic system as a replacement for characters, even though there's been a lot of discussion from people who could potentially enact such a change. Isn't this what the Vietnamese have done? I remember reading somewhere they have basically gotten rid of their character based alphabet and now use a romanized system and only use the traditional characters for aesthetic purposes I don't know how comparable Vietnamese and Chinese are other than that they are both tonal languages with lots of homonyms
