The "turn the other cheek" thing applies to personal affairs between individuals, its not meant to govern politics or international issues.

Yes buddhist are non-violent, they even refrain from killing any living creature unless it is necessary. For example if they live in a place were their are no plants to eat then it would be okay to eat meat but you have to be mindful about it. That's why you will find that most Buddhists are vegans or vegatarians. The Chinese army may have took part in WW2 but not the Buddhists themselves.
