I wonder if it's worth adding "extraterritoriality" to the list of concessions demanded from China? I know you weren't trying for an exhaustive list, but it's such a huge and outrageous demand, and it's one that the Western powers had already demanded from Japan, so that extra bit of knowledge (which I did learn in school, but I remember mainly because of, um, Stephen Sondheim) added even more weight to your contextualization of Japanese imperialism.
