Only portions of China could be taken, while other military resources had to be re-directed to other regions of the world; Alaska, the waters around Australia, South Pacific, Central Pacific, Patrols along the North American west coast line, etc.
Japan was attacked by USA's nuclear bomb and was defeat by military of Western allies during WW2. China had been smart to join allied with Russia during WW2 to get support in weapons and military hardware supplies.
If Japan has a chance to develop its military again Japan will defeat China and control some part of China again.
China though has a glorious look from the outside, but its people are not accepted to be all same Chinese. Unrest domestic civilian will soon leads to a crack in China's economy and politics. Secondly, China has so many enemy, even Vietnam, a traditional allies of China, now is likely China's enemy.
China was not smart enough to keep a healthy relationship with its neighbors which will give the USA a chance to isolate China silently.
What China should do is not expanding its land, but expanding its politics' influence and giving trust to its neighbors.
China will need its neighbors, but no country need China, they try to maintain a relationship with China because China is a special friend of the USA; however, it is almost over now, China is becoming a first-class enemy of USA who support Iran and N-Korea. This view is clear when USA gets closer to Russia who was former enemy but now a closer friend.
China is now wearing the shoes which Russia has worn for many decades.

Also there was not much of a government in China, so even if it was completely defeated, such an event would hardly affect the majority of Chinese, as the government's authority did not extend throughout the land. It was relatively easy to capture coastal areas, or riverbanks as far inland as the Japanese cared to go, but the vast and rugged interior was another matter.

∙ 13y agoThe Japanese were hard to defeat because they were exceptional warriors and naval warriors. Their culture began training boys to be warriors from the time they were nine years old. They were taught military methods and strategy. They became strong and could exist on very little compared to the Americans and other allies. They also believed in fighting to the death and that you were not to let yourself be captured. They believed in suicide so it was easy for them to commit suicide by aiming planes into ships (Kamikaze). There stubbornness to keep fighting and not surrender was a problem too.
