I wouldn't go as far as to say that, at least not yet, and tbh I don't think that China will actually get to the point where they are launching a campaign for violent regional imperialism like the Japanese did. They're trying to do as much of that as possible with money.
Japan literally did rape everyone. They killed millions. The IJA/IJN were monsters. China has done some twisted stuff, no doubt, and they are really pushing the limits of what's acceptable, but I don't see them launching a mass rape campaign any time soon. I don't even really see them engaging in conventional wars like the US and its allies, or Russia have been doing in recent years. However, depending on how the next few years go geopolitically, they may decide to take the offensive. They certainly see the current situation as a unique window of opportunity and my biggest worry is that if the big dude in Beijing feels like the window is closing, he could opt to lash out.
The recent confrontation with India suggests that at the very least it is a possibility. As China grows in strength, it will look for ways to assert itself.

I saw some of the text of China's new security law on Hong Kong. It's scary stuff for not only the people Hong Kong but for anyone who dares to criticize China. Anyone who is deemed a security risk against China can be imprisoned for life. According to this news account, Canada has already advised their citizens to be very careful when they are in Hong Kong or China.
I hope your age isn't anywhere near the double digits. Most people anywhere a smigdeon near adulthood would be mortified by the thought of men bludgeoning each other to death rather than being some sort of entertainment.

That's why the CCP should be liquidated and the PRC split into 3 manageable kingdoms.
This is their style. Occupy 10 km, pull back 9 km, then negotiate a new Line of Actual Control and Buffer Zone - all this without firing a single shot !!
The successful Chinese Canadians and other Canadians in HK, Macau and Mainland China ignore the nonsense advice, law abiding and contributing to society, having done nothing illegal.
