There is a common belief that the Chinese language is better than Japanese simply because the Japanese writing system borrows heavily from Chinese characters.

Straw man fallacy.

There is no such "common believe" to begin with.

I think any serious intellectual who knows the history of this period of time would had known that.

In fact, a small part of the law of the ROC, was brought over from late Qing dynasty, which was translated by Japanese Judges during that time.

Please educate yourself.
