Why are you so sure that such an invasion would be successful or even take place?
Assuming the Chinese let the Allies launch it. The Red Army had 3 fronts in the area, with well over 1.5 million men, in Manchuria and Mongolia alone by the end of August, 1945. Also, any attack would not have been able to organize before the Siberian winter set in, meaning that any offensive would have to be delayed until Summer, 1946, at which point the Soviets could easily bring up enough men to stop it.
