What changes (later on) if 2nd Sino-Japanese is labelled as a "Holy War"?

What would change about history if the 2nd Sino-Japanese War became popularly referred to by the Chinese as a Holy War sometime after the US enters the war (to prevent the US Neutrality Act from affecting them by an earlier declaration)?

This question came up for me when I had an epiphany while writing a post in the KanColle shipgirls replacing WWII warships thread, on how bad the enmity between China and Japan was by 1942 (despite the original Kuomintang founders such as Sun Yat-sen being Japanophilic).

The realization was: "Hey, guys, you know how China claims to be the only major civilization that's been around since antiquity (or at the latest the High Middle Ages) that's never fought a Holy War of some type? 2nd Sino-Japanese was a de facto Holy War. It was EXACTLY a Holy War, right down to use of suicidal attacks (suicide bombers vs Japanese tanks), the common peasant of every Chinese faction hating the Japanese far more than they hated the other factions (the leaders were another story), backstabbing between the Chinese factions, etc."

I'd say that nothing really changes about WWII (open to argument here, including "can 2nd Sino-Japanese be characterized as a Holy War"). What about post-war history though?
