You wouldn't really say it like that in English, though people would of course understand it.
You could say "to the east of China" or just "east of China". Simply "Japan is east of China" is enough though.

Duolingo does not consequently evaluate these similar sentences in the form of "a is (located) in the ... of/to b". Its frustrating that I have to answer exactly in the way Duo thinks of.

I am not a native English speaker, but is "Japan is located in the east of China." really wrong?

Is it grammatically incorrect to say "China is east of Japan" does it have to have "to the" i.e. "China is to the east of Japan"?
