If the air bases aren’t destroyed they will if they are they might still have air superiority if carriers are near it
most probably will be destroyed but that’s not my point my point is your thinking after Taiwan, China will invade a country to take over US bases probably Japan, just so they can take Guam, they don’t need to take Guam to render the US ineffective in the first island chain
If American weapons are being launched from bases in those countries and striking China, then those countries are de-facto participating in war against China. I wouldn't be opposed to immediate tactical level nuclear strikes on all Japanese power infrastructure, ports, airports, water treatment plants, reservoirs, telecoms, etc. Maybe even an immediate EMP preceding these attacks. In addition to strikes on their military assets.
China would never do that massive amount of war crimes, especially since China has a no first use policy for nukes. China would strike US military bases in those countries though but not invade those bases to take it over what would result if not already happening, Japanese involvement
凡用兵之法，全國爲上；破國次之；全軍爲上，破軍次之；全旅爲上，破旅次之；全卒爲上，破卒次之；全伍爲上，破伍次之。
In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good. So, too, it is better to recapture an army entire than to destroy it, to capture a regiment, a detachment or a company entire than to destroy them.
edit: also, generally:
非利不動，非得不用，非危不戰。... 怒可以復喜，慍可以復悅，亡國不可以復存，死者不可以復生。
Move not unless you see an advantage; use not your troops unless there is something to be gained; fight not unless the position is critical. ... Anger may in time change to gladness; vexation may be succeeded by content. But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life.

This is actually really dangerous since in very long tunnels, you rely on trains to bring oxygen into them by passing through at high speed. If you loiter in there for too long then the passengers might use up all the oxygen.
Yet the Americans shocked and awed Baghdad into submission and firebombed Tokyo and of course nuked them twice. They then proceeded to occupy them all the way up until now. Sometimes it's not a bad idea to watch and learn from your enemy instead of solely relying on ancient pearls of wisdom which may not be applicable for every single situation, scope and era.
Who said China just want to make US ineffective in the 1IC?
Once US declares war on China, what China wants isn't up to US to decide.
I feel like China has an Iran disease. They keep wanting to compromise, they keep want to just be at peace when your enemy wants to utterly murder you. What US has been doing to China with the export controls is literally economic murder and China hasn't done anything proportional. This peace disease will surprise China again and again in this fight against US empire.
