Yes.

Also Japan can be held in limbo by just blocking and unblocking the landbridge. He then moves his army constantly back and forth. Although this does slow the game time on my slow pc!

You can repeat this as long as you have fun.

Any insights into the AI would be interesting

The words insight and AI exclude each other . Well at least in this game generation. In the future, AI's will be smarter. Look at chess programs. They were a laugh 20 years ago. They are fairly strong now.

Hi

I'm playing a game on a large continent where I have china on my left and Japan on my right. Japan has
declared war on china and starts to move his massive army through my terrain.

However, the only access to China is through a narrow landbridge in my territory. If I then block the landbridge Japan starts to move all his units back to his territory.
