Nope, you're full of shit.
Multiple Chinese provinces were never occupied by Japan, all of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, 99% of Yunnan, Fujian, Guizhou, west Hunan, West Hubei, Southeast Jiangxi.
ALL of Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam were occupied and raped by Japanese
The US, UK and Netherlands supplied 99% of Japan's war material against China from 1937-1940.
Netherlands and US openly rejected calls to cut off Japan's oil supply in 1938-9.
China defeated Japan's attempted to conquer all of China by 1940, Japan had to completelye conquer China and sever China's land borders in 1940 (with Frnch Indochina and Soviet Union) because even WITH the oil the US and Dutch gave Japan, Japan was expending oil at an unsustainable rate in China and needed to win the war, or it would be forced to do their plan B and either invade Soviet Siberia or Southeast Asia to consume ALL the output if the Dutch and UK oil fields and not just the portion the Dutch and UK gave them.
Japan lost the battle of Taierzhuang in 1938 and Changsha in 1939 and even at battles Japan won like Shanghai, Japan still lost tens of thousands of men and was wasting oil at an unsustainable rate in their tanks
The UK agreed to Japan's demands to sever China's border in British Burma in 1940
Japan launched the battles of Kunlun pass and West Suiyuan to completely sever China's land borders with France and Soviets in 1939-1940
Japan was defeated at both battles with the commanding Japanese generals killed
The Japanese soldiers at Kunlun pass were ordered to fleet Guangxi and retreat into French Indochina to seize it in preparation for taking over all of SEA, their plan B in case they failed to defeat China by 1940.
The US, UK and Netherlands knew that Japan planned to invade SEA or Siberia if they failed in China, and Japan occupying French Indochina in 1940 publicly signaled that Japan chose SEA.
