I'd say China starting a conflict that could escalate into a World War is far far greater than Japan.

I don't see much difference between China & Russia frankly. Both are appalling governments that care little for their populations.

I'd be happy if both their governments were wiped from the earth.
I disagree that there isn't much difference between China and Russia. The Chinese government have generally implemented policies that they feel are for the greater good of China. Unfortunately, in their eyes this has meant restricting individual rights for the sake of the greater society, sometimes to the point of murder. The Russian government doesn't care about the greater good of Russia. They are more concerned about their (those in power) own self-interest and that they are viewed as important and a force to be reckoned with. It's like a mass-culture inferiority complex.

I don't think China would ultimately do anything that would do lasting harm to their society like starting a world war. Russia absolutely would.
