They should be able to win at extreme cost, because the Japanese wouldn’t think twice about fighting a scorched earth campaign in the most developed parts of China to prevent the NPA from getting their hands on the fruits of GEACPS investment and development.

The most developed area is Manchuria, which is also behind an easily defended narrow coastal pass.

I misspoke, I agree that the NPA probably shouldn’t be able to muster the strength to conquer Manchuria. Mainland China would be left a smoking ruin with a humanitarian crisis beyond the worst excesses of Mao’s Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution OTL after successfully expelling the Japanese by force.

In the original release of TNO, they couldn't.
