Chinese words are made up of characters and strokes. It doesn't have alphabets. Only recent decades that Chinese language adopted alphabets to spell out the Chinese words pronunciation , simplified the learning of Chinese language for all. It was actually named Hanyu Pinyin. Literally meaning Han Language Translation.
Actual Chinese language still use Chinese words characters as the main ways of reading and writing. There are lots of development in between, you would need to do some knowledge discovery on that if you wish to know indepth on this topic.

I don't think I got your question, but I can say every written language has an alphabet. Chinese doesn't use the Latin alphabet but it has its own.
Without an alphabet of any kind, you cannot write in any language.

Chinese is not a way to record the sound but the shape. I mean they invented it with an idea that they thought the word should looks like the thing it indicates. Though it has changed a lot now and you may not find it the way.
There are many basic parts used to assemble words but no need to learn them in an order...so no alphabets

Yes, Chinese does not use an alphabet. Chinese uses a logosyllabary, not an alphabet
