I seriously doubt the Chinks had any idea of the actual population of China. It's not like they had a functioning government then.
87 million Krauts sure fucked up the rest of the world though.

The Empire of Japan had a pretty good run from 1902 to 1942. Played “Slap a Ho” with a bunch of different nations, starting with the ivans.

I was always wondering how Japan could literally rape China when China was so much larger. I guess not.

China wasn’t under a unified government. The Nationalists and the Communists were more interested in fighting each other than Japan. Corruption ran rampant, all the coolies were more worried about their own rice bowl as opposed to their nation getting the shit beat out of them. Didn’t hurt that the Japanese were out to prove that they were more brutal than their European mentors,
