The Japanese had been at war for 50 years against Russia, Korea, Manchuria, China, and the US prior to the Okinawa invasion.

I agree. They are soft and weak as a whole. Can’t really compare the 2.
Keep in mind that the native Taiwanese were friendly to the Japanese after Japan made it a colony.

Chinese against Chinese, the native Austronesians will take to the mountains.
