Would China use atomic weapons on Japan? Would North Korea? YES. This is why, If we have a WW III Japan will stay neutral and not support the west, and risk nukes upon their cities. No, just as America fears too many battlefield deaths, Japan fears a nuke attack. Putin’s treaty with Kim, locks Japan from helping America in any coming war. The Japanese navy will only be used for anti-pirate duties and homeland defense. One less headache for Russia/China/Iran/ North Korea Axis.

Anpo is the mutual defense treaty between the US and Japan. 50,000 USF-J forces will launch counter-offensives from Japan against the PLA invasion of Taiwan, with Japanese 'advisors' on board as Anpo 'insurance'.

In the first 10 minutes of WWIII (you got that much right), the skies over Okinawa will be filled with US Heavys leaving Kadena to carpet bomb the Chinese coast from Xiamen to Quanzhou to Fuzhou.

Japan is in like flynn, and yeah, they and Seoul will have to take the hit from whatever Yung Fat can get off his mobiles until he is fireballed by a bunker-busting nuke.

The Japanese and the Koreans know that without American protection, the Chinese will conquer and rule over them. Because they are treaty allies, they are covered by the American nuclear umbrella the same way Europe is. A Chinese nuclear attack on these countries will result in the nuclear annihilation of hundreds of Chinese cities.

The difficulty for China is that as a poor country, most of its infrastructure and industry is densely packed in the cities. Destroy them and the country goes back to rickshaws and porters. But the principal deterrent for China’s leaders is their personal demise that would follow their initiation of a nuclear attack.

Japan is a solid ally and is immersed in its biggest military buildup since WWII, it is deeply engaged with the allies against the China threat.

Japan unveils biggest military build-up since World War II
“Japan has announced a U.S. $320 billion plan to buy missiles capable of striking the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and North Korea, and ready the nation for sustained conflict as regional tensions and Russia’s Ukraine invasion stoke war fears.
The sweeping, five-year plan unveiled in mid-December 2022 will make Japan the world’s third-biggest military spender after the United States and the PRC, based on current budgets.”
