I am quite surprised to see you contemplate this option. Japan is a turn-key nuclear power already, and developing nuclear weapons is a relatively trivial technical step for Japan, as it already has sufficient stocks of plutonium and highly enriched uranium. Such an attack would be meaningless in terms of stopping a potential Japanese nuclear program, and of course would alienate vast numbers of countries.
Besides, do you think Japan would not retaliate militarily? What about its treaty ally, the US? How would other powers in the region react? Too many unknowns for China to act in such a reckless manner.
In truth, China's practical leadership would likely do nothing more than issue harsh rhetoric, like it did with its proxies North Korea and Pakistan. War, and potentially nuclear war, is a risk to the CCP's hold on power; and the CCP's hold on power is the CCP's highest priority.
My friend, do you empathize with the Jews when they say "Never again"? How they acquired nuclear weapons and then stopped their enemies from doing the same?
If you can understand that, surely you can understand our feelings as well, considering that we lost more than the Holocaust x 4.
And in truth our great humiliation was much deeper than just the numbers might show. Others can forget but we can't.
You can make the argument that modern day Japan is more responsible than modern day Iran, and others might dispute that, but then again Iran was not the one who committed the Holocaust against the Jews either.

Everyone gets reckless over something. How far would Israel go to assure "Never again"? Maybe as far as the Samson option.
Do you want to see a Chinese person acting in a reckless manner? Everyone knows what to say to achieve that, and many on this forum say it often and regularly, under the cover of anonymity of course.
