Most historical food (and customs, and architecture, and artstyles, and drinks...) attributed to Japan are actually Chinese in origin.

Hell, even taxonomy has this issue, with many species being called Japonica but being indigenous to China! Camellia Japonica, even Japonica rice, one of the two big cultivars, is actually from China originally!

This is a problem because it erases Chinese identity and history in favour of their recent colonisers, which is actually politically convenient to anticommunism too.
