I saw similar information here . Obviously these aren't exhaustive sources but it seems like the idea of creating a Jewish state in imperial Japanese occupied territory was a Japanese idea that they came up with to deal with the Jews in Shanghai, since they wanted to keep them alive to appeal to the Jewish diaspora in the US. The Jews that were already in China from fleeing Germany went along with it because they were at the mercy of the IJA.
