Economically, I image Japan could get away with that. Military? While the US is putting in another missile defense system in Japan, and has a part of the Seventh Fleet out their, Japan itself does not have the forces to take on China like they did in the 1930s. Japan has no nuclear weapons that I am aware. So they would have to hope the defense systems work as well as advertived if it come down to it. Fortunately I think the old rules still stand. The first one that uses nukes in war is likely going to get nuked by the other nuclear powers. Especially missiles. Bombs would be likely to get retalitory strikes from the USA and maybe even Russia (they aren't that friendly with each other).

No telling what India would do with an openning in China's borders due to their forces being shifted to the coastline.
