Um... sometimes they change and sometimes they don't? Frex, the kanji for "benkyou" (study) is hanzi for "mianqiang" (to force). My friends and I laughed when we learned that. So... sometimes it's the same, sometimes you can see the relationship when you squint sideways, and sometimes the relationship is so far in the past that I have no idea what it is. Though usually it's the former two. (All just for Chinese and Japanese, I wish I knew more for Korean)
