But, the full scale invasion of China by happens around 1931, which then lead to the conflict that get China involved in WWII.

Yes, full scale. But they already occupied parts of China before 1930. It wasn't tariffs for Japan. It was sanctions on oil to force them to stop invading. Their response was to speed up invasions to secure oil.
Which I suppose goes to the heart of why tariffs and export restrictions are bad. A country that is pushed into a corner where it will be deprived of an essential commodity is highly incentived to fight for it...
Edit: to be clear, not defending Japan at all. Just considering possible implications
While that sounds good, that's a reason to not sanction Russia for agression. The alternative to is to not do anything with aggressors.
