we, actually everyone in asia, all know chinese/japanese/korean are related to each others, it is a fact, but then it is not much of importance now, they are 3 different people already.

just like arabs and jews, actually sharing same ancestry, but it is also not relevant now.

those chinese assimilated with native japanese, so basically it is half.

today's dna test revealed that over 60% of japanese men share chromosome related to chinese ancestry, and over 50% women.

japan actually used the same han characters as china until they changed in late 19th century

say you are a chinese who doesn't know how to read japanese. how many words you recognize here?

The Chinese race is actually a political creation of the Han dynasty, in which they are still known as Han Chinese today.

Before Han there was the tyrannic Qin dynasty, China's first imperial dynasty. There were 2 groups that escaped Qin, one to Japan and another down south to unknown whereabout (presumably Vietnam)

Based on the Han racial unification, Japanese are actually quite 'far', the closest cousins for the Chinese people are the North Vietnamese and North Koreans.

That said, it is really doubtful whether the first emperor of Japan was a Chinese.

If TS said the first king of the first united Vietnamese kingdom was a Chinese, that will be true.

See, as mentioned, Chinese are closer to the North Vietnamese and North Koreans than Japanese.

It was already proven in DNA test, over 60% of Japanese men share chromosomes related to Chinese, while over 50% of Japanese women do. The conclusion has to be that some from China went to Japan and interbreed with the Japanese natives there. About the first emperor, it isn't so sure though.
