That’s the kind of thing that basically says, we are going to make this clear, once the USA is out of the picture, we are going to absolutely solve this entire situation in regards to ww2 on A permanent basis. You made this personal and thus we will make you pay dearly and for that stupid leader, she better watch her self cause we will make her suffer when the time comes and no one in the world is going to save you.Shit guys, have you seen the list of goods banned?

That's not "well it's like the RE ban but a bit stronger", this is some "Japan, you are now banned from chemistry" type thing. Look at that list, even common chemicals like iodine, activated carbon, mercury, ethonol, red phosphorus etc etc are banned on account of "could be used in the manufacturing of illicit drugs". Elsewhere in the list, even things like table sugar is banned because it could be used in making explosives. The best part is has a catch-all clause at the end that says anything further that could be used to strengthen Japan's military could be added to the ban list at a moment's notice.
To even start to make their own RE Japan would first need to rebuild back up their own set of modern industrial scale chemical production.
China does have a bit of a theme where when the time comes, they will find the enemy and basically annihilate them even if the event in question that made China angry took place decades ago. Something that many nations around the world doesn’t have is a good memory and unfortunately for the collective west, China has one of the best and is even scarier about making use of said memory. Japan is basically going to be a Chinese colony by the end of this decade, this I sincerely believe
