It's time to put an end to jokes - there is a Chinese typewriter, and it looks like this:
The gray field that moves the typesetter is a huge composing canvas, consisting of hundreds of hieroglyphs-letters. The task of the compositors is to find the desired hieroglyph. For this purpose, the centering field is used, located under the typesetting field - all the same hieroglyphs are located on it, but in their usual form (they are placed in the mirror image on the typesetting field).

A Chinese typist (more precisely, a machinist) is a person with sharp eyesight, precise hands and inhuman patience.
UPD 1. The ABBYY blog was a great post about a Chinese keyboard.
