Whew.
Good one.
Some would say 'yes', because it convinced the Japanese to surrender earlier than they would have. Had the Japanese held out and not surrendered until after a land invasion of Japan, hundreds of thousands of people would have died in the ensuing conflicts.
The atomic bombs convinced the Japanese that they could be destroyed without requiring a land invasion.
Let get the facts straight. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are both cities of Japan not China. Japan did attack China but the United States attacked Japan dropping atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9 1945.

The first Atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on the 6th August 1945. The second was dropped on Nagasaki, 3 days later on the 9th August 1945. The 6th August 1945 was a Monday, and the 9th August was a Thursday.
America justified dropping the atomic bomb on Japan in August 1945 primarily by arguing that it would bring a swift end to World War II, potentially saving countless lives that would have been lost in a prolonged invasion of the Japanese mainland. U.S. leaders believed that the shock and devastation caused by the bomb would compel Japan to surrender unconditionally. Additionally, there was a desire to demonstrate military superiority, particularly to the Soviet Union, as the post-war geopolitical landscape began to take shape.
The U.S. preparations for and eventual dropping of the atomic bomb during World War II were primarily aimed at Japan. The Manhattan Project, a secret research and development program, culminated in the creation of two atomic bombs, which were dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. The U.S. justified this drastic action by arguing it would hasten Japan's surrender and ultimately save lives by avoiding a prolonged ground invasion. The bombings resulted in immense destruction and loss of life, leading to Japan's surrender and the end of World War II.
