Ehm… isn’t “日本” = “Japan” both in chinese and japanese?

Yes.
Username checks out so I trust this commenter with my life right now.
The subtitle could have been not literal translation. The dialogue could have been “this is kanji for japan” or characters for japan. But the subtitle wrote Chinese for japan, because the movie/speaker was Chinese… Maybe
That’s actually hilarious.
