They discuss how Japan's informal empire emerged in China after Japan entered the Treaty Port system in 1895 and how it shaped Japan's own internal development. How did Japan's informal empire expand in size and importance so that Japanese economic and security interests became heavily dependent on China? What influence did Japanese business groups, China experts, and military have on their government's China policy? How did the Japanese in China deal with the threatening rise of Chinese nationalism? Exploring these and other questions, these essays show how the pursuit of an informal empire in China played a profound role in the emergence of modern Japan.
