And in this case at least replaced by a rotten Japanese imperial edifice.
Pffft. You are failing to properly conjugate the irregular verbs.
Their rotten imperial edifice.
Your understandable but misguided attempt at hegemony.
Our rational structure of international economic cooperation guided and defended by the most economically, socially, and morally developed nation.
I think what is being suggested is that by the Western Allies not supplying China with arms and supplies then there would be no need for Japan to take the opportunity to invade French indo china to cut off the main supply route
no invasion of FIC then the USA does not hit the Japanese with massive sanctions including starving them of oil
No Massive sanctions then far less of a need for Japan to risk war for the supplies it needs

Except Japan invaded Northern Indochina prior to the reopening of the Burma road - and the Indochina route was being used prior to the closure of the Burma road. They are not related at all. The Japanese invaded South Guangxi in late 1939 to break the last sea route into China other than via Burma and northern FIC. What was stated or, charitably, 'being suggested' doesn't make sense for the reasons why the Japanese struck south in late 1941 nor for the reason why the Japanese chose to invade northern FIC in September 1940.
Which is pretty much exactly what Cryhavoc101 wrote. Throw china completely under the bus right at the beginning (say, late 39) and there is no drama over the Haiphong route, no friction over the Lashio road, and possibly no post-colony-grab oil embargo. But would need to happen early enough to forestall the FIC seizure. And that early the Europeans would probably not see a need to cravenly abandon their China policy, even though it might have saved them a lot of trouble in the long run.
Quite possible the Japanese engage in exciting foreign adventures anyway out of opportunism and/or perceived need for another invasion front into China but it’s a plausible way to avoid clashing with Japan. Not sure how it would play with the China lobby in the US though, and it certainly would embolden the more predatory elements in Japan.
Or jump in bed with the Sovs in 1939. Jointly support Poland against Germany and joint Anglo-Russian action against Japan. Give Russia a free hand in Manchuria. No WW2 and Japan is on notice.
The Poles would never accept anything that meant there'd be Soviet troops on their soil for the very good reason that they know it means them becoming Soviet puppets.
The problem with that strategy is it is a risky way of kicking the can down the road. It can play out in two ways. Firstly, it satisfies Japan and she stays occupied with the exploitation of resources for many years, giving the Allies time to reorganize. Hopefully the Japanese get mired down even worse than they were, and who knows perhaps they will have a change of government, to one more able to resist the militarists. That however, is very doubtful. The second way is that it gives the Japanese the resources they need and want, and it enables them to grow much faster militarily. Thus instead of them being defeated and gone in 45, we have them being stronger and more capable in 45.
Has anyone gamed Operation MATADOR or the landings at Kohta Barhu? Or taken a really close look at those orations and the Japanese landings? I've only read brief summaries and fragments. had the Brits correctly executed their defense would it have any chance of defeating or stalling the Japanese landings? That is just execution, with out alterations in weapons, units, ect...
I don't think Operation Matador was politically feasible without first getting the Thais to agree to it.
Sorry to all that I haven't posted the army that could have been in Singapore or in Malaya by November 1941. There will be questions that many will ask in all time I will try to respond.

@Zheng He I recommend you looking up in Wikipedia Royal Canadian Armoured Corps. I am using facts since you are wondering why a corp since by 1941 Canada didn't have Armoured división but a corps. And the General in change was F.F. Worthington. By 1941 there were two brigades formed up but no tanks were available. Now what if Canada had started construction of the Valentine by late 1940, well he would have gotten from 150 to 200 Valentine by October 1941. If he was given command of building the Valentine, tank production would be fast and production could have given tanks for the lend lease and for the corps.
Here is some information where I looked up:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Canadian_Armoured_Corps
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/F._F._Worthington
Also @Zheng He the first brigade was sent England by the summer of 1941 but what if General Worthington has held both brigade and since what if General Ironside needed tanks but none could be sent from England well the best place to find a good armour division or corp is in Canada. Here is more information: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Canadian_Armoured_Brigade
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2nd_Canadian_Armoured_Brigade
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2nd_Canadian_Armoured_Brigade
Another thing, I was doing lots of research of where Canada can get more tanks. I found some information that the Churchill tank if production was started by late 1940, well General Ironside could have asked for at least 120 of this tank. Also the M3 Stuart could have arrived by September 1941 in Canada and I would have said about 100 to 120 tanks could have been part of the corp.
