Aren't Chinese and Japanese one ethnic group?

>Just different languages?
There is no difference between Chinese and Japanese ethnically, both are yellow
As a result, they were divided into two ethnic groups simply because of language differences.
These subtle differences eventually led to conflict between the two sides.
During World War II, the Chinese hated the Japanese with a passion.
Now that the Japanese-Chinese economic war has broken out, the two sides hate each other even more.
Why didn't the Japanese Empire just unify Chinese into Japan and categorize Chinese as a dialect?
Then both sides wouldn't hate each other so much.
