Japs know if they get into a war with the PLA, it will be a fight to the death.
Chinese generals are cold, brutal and absolutely ruthless human beings.
When the war starts, the only thing on their mind will be to totally annihilate Japan at all costs.
If that means china will endure significant losses, then that will be the price to pay to impose maximum possible punishment on Japan.
Chinese military hawks make guys like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz look like military doves in comparison.
That will be unfortunate for China, as it doesn't have unlimited money, unlimited trained personnel, unlimited ships, or unlimited manufacturing capability.
You are gung-ho for war now, you won't be so gung-ho when your mother is killed by a cruise missile while working in some politburo building where some VIP happened to be visiting, or when your best friend is conscripted for some human wave assault by your ruthless generals and becomes just another casualty.
Oh you'll still fight or do whatever it is you have to do for the war effort, you have no choice but to, but you'll have a bad taste in the back of your mouth that the war you supported and your country brought about ate up your friends, family, and affected everyone you consider dear to you.
War is not a pleasant thing, you underestimate the pain and suffering it brings.
