China failed to advance from the group stage for the first time in a Women's World Cup.
A video review before halftime took away a goal or James would've bagged a hat trick against China (1-2-0, three points).
England got three goals during group stage matches from James and next plays Nigeria on Monday in Brisbane.
Chloe Kelly and Rachel Daly also netted goals for England, which matched its widest margin of victory in a Women's World Cup game.
Vietnam concluded its first Women's World Cup appearance with losses in all three of its games.
