Yes. The nuclear fallout would extend much farther then the actual bomb's damage. But if it spread as far as you are thinking. I do think Japan would have had much more problems then it did/does. Those moved residents at Bikini Atoll, sued us, But they did not die. Now I imagine that the bomb would cause geographic damage for around 2-5 miles depending on the size/tyoe of the bomb Which can range form the ones we used in WWII to the 50 megaton Bomb we have now. Thae radiation would need to be spread hundreds of miles, or excuted near the border (which I may say would have no real purpose as most key points are centralized.) The radiation would only spread about 20-30 miles. At least for the radiation levels you are talking. If any got to china it would be so low a dosage, it would be like drinking water. Everything has radiation anyway. it would be an uneffective amount to cause any real harm.
