It’s cute that she believes racists will even recognize the flag.
Funny(?) enough, efforts by Chinese-Americans to differentiate themselves from Japanese-Americans to the racist majority of the US were largely successful during WW2.
I would use 'funnily' in that context.
As for the rest, the US actively supported China while the Japanese were invading. Doolittle's Raid, for example, overflew the Japanese islands, dropped some bombs, and then landed in China, because they wouldn't have had enough fuel to turn around and go home. China was essentially an ally in WWII.
