    About as much as Charlie Chan was Chinese!

    No he isn't. Looks slightly but no. We have a so called comedian here (Michael macintyre) he looks more oriental. His mother was eastern Hungarian which apparently is the reason.

        It's good to see the art of conversation hasn't died out and as you ask the question again with so much effort, I'd love to answer again more clearly.

        He isn't Japanese. He looks japanesee. But he no japanesee.

              But you all know the to story of Chaing kai-shek's son Wei-kuo.

              To save time, taking the text below for Wikipedia:


              Chiang sent Wei-kuo to Germany for a military education at the Kriegsschule in Munich. Here, he would learn the most up to date German military tactical doctrines, organization, and use of weaponry on the modern battlefield such as the German-inspired theory of the Maschinengewehr (Medium machine gun, at this time, the MG-34) led squad, incorporation of Air and Armored branches into infantry attack, etc. After completing this training, Wei-kuo completed specialized Alpine warfare training, thus earning him the coveted Gebirgsjäger (The elite Wehrmacht Mountain Troop) Edelweiss sleeve insignia. This was not an easy accomplishment, as part of the training selection included carrying 30 kilos of ruck sack through the Bavarian Alps. Wei-kuo was promoted to Fahnenjunker, or Officer Candidate, and was evidently a fine marksman, as his pictures depict him wearing the Schützenschnur lanyard.

              Wei-kuo commanded a Panzer unit during the 1938 Austrian Anschluss as a Fähnrich, or sergeant officer-candidate,[7] leading a tank into that country; subsequently, he was promoted to Lieutenant of a Panzer unit awaiting to be sent into Poland. Before he was given the mobilization order, he was recalled to China.
