I think it’s a great idea, because comparing First and Second World Wars is kinds stupid. One was war of English and French capital against German capital, the other was war of the People against fascism.

China fought the imperialist Japanese not the fascism. Once japan was off the main land China stopped fighting them. The Chinese civil war against the fascist KMT ended after ww2. So for China ww2 wasn’t against fascism it was against imperialism.
For Russia it was war against fascists but it was a defensive war. They were not actively seeking to crush fascism. They were defending themselves against an invasion and the invaders refused to surrender until after they took the enemy’s capital and hitler shot himself in the head.
Fighting fascists is not the same as anti-fascism.
I don’t think China had any ability to continue fighting Japan once they were off the mainland.
The Chinese civil war which started before ww2 and was delayed when the Japanese attacked raged on for another 4 years. So they did keep fighting just not the Japanese.
I think they referred to the non-existent Chinese navy at the time, not their general ability to wage war. Either China would have been unable to invade the Japanese isles.
Still seems like you’re slightly splitting hairs
We are discussing what we think about a name for a historical event. It is literally a semantic discussion. So yeah I am being precise as to why I think it is a bad name.
