Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931. Although the other countries of the League of Nations disapproved of the invasion, there was no effective way to force the Japanese to desist. So, as no international body had the authority to intervene, the US did not interfere or challenge Japan's invasion.
Ten years later, in 1941, after Japan had taken Korea and most of China, the US announced an embargo on Japan's supply of oil. This led the Japanese to attack the US as a prelude to their conquest of the western Pacific.
A unofficial group of American pilots did fly to China beginning in 1937, under American veteran Claire Chennault.
