Is that what western sources really say? No, there was no suspension of the civil war in 1937-1945. In fact, Chiang diverted a significant fraction of the aid received from the US to fighting the Communists instead of fighting the Japanese; if he hadn't the nationalist government might have collapsed from the rear.
Now, Chiang and the KMT might have done even worse in the civil war without the aid, but attacking Japan isn't likely to get China US aid this time around.
