There's so many examples. I mentioned this the other day: there was at least one instance of the Japanese Navy leaving soldiers from the Japanese Army stranded to be captured/killed because the Navy wanted to make the Army officers look bad/incompetent. There was an active rivalry encouraged by Tojo/Hirohito between military branches because they thought the competition would create the survival of the fittest with only the best personnel rising to the top. Instead, it led to perfectly capable leaders getting undermined by careerists and opportunists while capable soldiers were needlessly thrown away.
Meanwhile, the Allies had cooperation not just between their own military branches, but coordination across multiple branches in multiple countries. You had British pilots flying American paratroopers with Canadian commandos attacking from another direction on D-Day, for example. American engineers helping design Soviet tank factories. Chinese guerillas recovering downed British, American, and Soviet pilots.
We have real-world examples of how fucking dumb fascists are with even more examples being made today and the fascists are doing what they do best: making shit up to get mad about, then taking actions based on the shit they made up that's fake.
US starting a trade war on pure exceptionalism with no path to victory.
Is there a documentary, or a book or anything about the role of Chinese guerillas on WWII?
I don't know of anything specifically. There's probably better sources not written in English. Events to search for would be The Long March and the Doolittle Raid. The Doolittle Raid is going to have the most widely available information in English. Operation Sai-Go was the Japanese retaliation attacks on China for harboring the crewmembers that crashed there.
Picture ripped from Natopedia of Chinese and American officers who coordinated the Doolittle Raid:
