japansese fucked up the way they intrudoced chinese characters because the same characters in japansese can have different readings, its counterpart in chinese will always have the same reading.

Actually, there are Hanzi with more than one reading, so Chinese has it too. Yes, it's not nearly as common, but it exists.
