AHC/PC: Japan controls China

With POD around 1936, is it possible to make Japan win Second Sino-Japanese War without outside help or make China puppet state without war?
 
Nope.

If the Japanese had enough control over their army to prevent random atrocities: and if they were were willing to treat any puppetized state as a satellite/colony, rather than a bunch of slaves. If those conditions were met, then maybe.

But by 1936, it's too late. The wackos have loosed their controls, and anyone proposing a sane policy gets assassinated.
