The Qing should be an isolationist country, shunning foreigners.

The United States would have a near revolt on its hands if, in 1861, randomly invited 200,000 Japanese soldiers to march through the West. The Japanese Government would be in turmoil too, as they were still hyper-sensitive of outsiders at this time.

Yes, but history has already changed. The Japanese didn't reform until 1868, so any perceptions of how the Japanese would react in 1861 under the Shogunate, cannot be assumed to be true. Real history never had Emperor Komei actually act as an Emperor should. He was a figurehead. At this point in the game though, he is a fully assumed Emperor with power.
