Absolutely no since everything about Chinese is not based on pronunciation. Even the meaning of a word change by the pitch. If you don't specify the pitch in the phonetic transcript, the level of uniqueness in pronunciation of vocabulary is so much lower than other languages.
Same may say Japanese can express their language solely in pronunciation (Kana) but this is not true. There are easily 20+ meanings for the same pronunciation and are even hard to distinguish them with context provided. Just open any Japanese dictionary then you will see that it is a completely broken language if without the expressive power of Kanji (or Chinese characters).
