Frankly if you're fluent in Chinese then Japanese is much easier to learn due to the shared Kanji characters. The only thing you have to remember is to pronounce the Kanji in the Japanese way not the Chinese way.

That's a taller order than you might think. Most characters have one way to say them in Chinese. That's not the case in Japanese unfortunately and you need to memorize words for the most part. Even Japanese loanwords and vicerversa from Chinese don't go how you expect a lot of the time ( yinhang, must be , nope, will be more appropriate, nope got me again!). And anything not is of course not able to be related to Chinese pronunciation. Thankfully the meanings of words will be the same 99% of the time. But the problem for Chinese learners will still primarily be grammar.
