This appears to be entirely fictional. But it is true that Charlie Chaplin had some connection with war between Japan and the US. In 1932 Charlie Chaplin travelled to Japan and and was a target of coup plotters who hoped that murdering him would start a war with America. They apparently didn't realize that he was still a British citizen.
