For me, it is difficult to say if Japanese are more stubborn than others. But there is a clear difference in how stubbornness is shown.

Argue with a Brit, or an American, and most of the time they will state their position very clearly. With a Japanese, he/she will listen to you and say "hai" (which literally means yes but within the context can just mean "I heard you" and stick to his/her position.
