Are we forgetting that the Japanese sided with the literal actual nazis?
yup.
but also:
On December 6, 1938, the Japanese government made a decision of prohibiting the expulsion of the Jews in Japan, Manchukuo, and the rest of Japanese-occupied China. This was described as "amoral", based primarily on the consideration of avoiding antagonizing the United States. Even after Japan and United States became involved in a war against each other, the Japanese government's neutrality towards the Jews continued.
Germany repeatedly tried to get Japan on board with persecuting the Jews and Japan always stepped back and kept a "nah that's your thing we're busy abusing chinese and korean people" policy.

Life is rarely simple. History too.
Was there a significant population of Jews in Japan or China at that time? Or ever?
