Answer 1

Because japanese clothes originated from china.

Answer 2

meh... It was a mistake that China decided to settle down after Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Had they invaded Japan thousands of years ago... had they invade India, and the Middle East... oh man.. They had a great chance against those European countries. Japan would be a piece of cake. I would love to see China vs. Alexander the Great... that was 356 B.C. when he was around but China would've taken the whole Europe hundreds of years before he's even born haha.
