as someone learning Chinese, this is top-tier meme
Japanese kanji are from China. While reading is obviously different they share many characteristics. Just like our alphabet hasn't been invented in England even though we're using it to write English
It includes 3 other scripts in addition to kanji.
So? It also includes Simplified Hanzi which only has relation to the People's Republic of China and Singapore.
Oracle Bone, Bronze, Seal, Traditional and Simplified Hanzi are all Chinese. Only Kanji is Japanese and only by proxy, so this meme is like 70% Chinese and 30% Japanese. You would know that if you learned Japanese.
