Times change but not every country does. Despite all the noises coming from China they know they aren't going to war. War is bad for business. They'll buy Taiwan one block at a time. Unlike American affection for immediate gratification, the Chinese are in it for the long term.
This is more about all the resources under the sea from the Chinese mainland out to as far as China can push it.
No one wants to return the the massive destruction of WWII. An estimated 70M people died as a result. The US was on the verge of bankruptcy. No nation in their right minds wants such a calamity to fall upon them. What Putin is doing is irrational and will only be a loser for him. China will push simply as a good business competitor does.

What Putin is doing is irrational, and has no economic benefit for Russia. He is driven by a warped vision of a type of Russian nationalism rooted in 18th and 19th century tsarist Russia
The best outcome here is that Putin fails at his objective of conquering Ukraine, thus serving as a cautionary tale for future tyrants contemplating attacking their neighbors

There's no concrete evidence the Japanese were on the verge of surrendering. The battle of Okinawa was right near the end of the war, and they fought to the death.
They still had five million men under arms in August 1945.
Moreover, we weren't interested in a conventional surrender. One where terms are offered and their army stands down.
We wanted them to submit. Unconditionally. We were not going to allow the Japanese government or it's institutions to survive.
We were going to force them to submit to a US military occupation, and we were going to dismantle their government and institutions, throw them in the trash, and force them adopt a pacifist democracy which is only legally eligible to have a small self defense force.

They killed many of our men and women, including civilians. They needed to be stopped. It worked. Also, the peace-feelers, as the article states below, were all bullshit. You're shilling anti-nuke hysteria.
Liar.
