The Nazis were quite willing to ally with anyone to their advantage. The Japanese (non-Ainu) aren't Aryans but Hitler called them Honorary Aryans (Ehrenarier) of the East.
Case in point, the Jewish-Hungarian composer Emmerich Kaliman was offered Honorary Aryan (Ehrenarier) status. Joseph Goebbels was said to have commented to Frtiz Lang, "Mr. Lang, we decide who is Jewish and who is not".
The Kingdom of Thailand allied with Japan for self-benefit, as the Japanese sided with them on territorial disputes vs. France (and later UK) during the French-Thai War in 1941. The Thais initially resisted Japaense demands to move their troops across Thailand and even fought against them, but they eventually reached an agreement on the issue. Later, after Japan's defeat, the Thais switched alliance over to the Americans, hehe.
The biggest colonial power in Pre-WW2 era was Briton, France only held small slices of the pie. The US supported UK, but at the same time, also supported the de-colonization of British colonies. Japan also supported Indian independence during WW2 and even supplied the Indian National Army.
Another point to consider, seeing how this is a Chinese military forum, is that Mao probably wouldn't have succeeded if Japan didn't invade China.
