The Japanese invasion of China in the late 1930s significantly impacted the Chinese Civil War by temporarily uniting the Nationalists (Kuomintang) and the Communists against a common enemy. This forced collaboration weakened the Nationalists' control and resources, as they shifted focus to resist Japanese aggression. The conflict also allowed the Communists to gain popular support and expand their influence, ultimately setting the stage for their victory in the civil war after World War II. The invasion thus altered the dynamics of power and conflict within China during this tumultuous period.
It weakened China because the Chinese were fighting each other.
Japanese invasion of Manchuria
1911. China became a republic at that time and underwent years of civil war, as well as the invasion of the Japanese, and finally the People's Republic of China (Communist) was born on October 1, 1949.
China was in a civil war and the military could not defend against the Japanese army.
The 1937 invasion of China by Japan marked the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War, which led to an uneasy truce between the Nationalist government and the Communist Party of China. This alliance was temporarily formed to resist the Japanese aggression, but underlying tensions remained, ultimately resulting in the resumption of the Chinese Civil War after World War II. The conflict highlighted the complexities of Chinese politics and the struggle for power between the Nationalists and Communists.

Japanese invasion of Manchuria
The event that halted the Chinese Civil War was the Japanese invasion on 1937. This invasion also led to the end of World War II in 1945.
The Japanese invasion during the Second Sino-Japanese war temporarily unified the Chinese by giving them a common enemy. Prior to the invasion, China was in the midst of a civil war between the Communist party and their opposition, who supported the government. The civil war was suspended after the invasion and the two groups came together to form the Second United Front to fight off the Japanese.

Japan
Before the Mongol invasion, Chinese officials were selected through civil service exams. After the invasion, this system was eliminated.

In 1927 China went into civil war. The war was between the Nationalists and the Communists. This war raged until 1937 when the two put aside their differences temporarily to fight off the Japanese Invasion. Lacking poor command and poor training, the Chinese took terrible losses but would not surrender. The were not successful in pushing the Japanese out of China until 1945 but since your question only asked until 1940 i will stop there. So basically China was in constant war between 1930 and 1940.
