The Japanese were quite satisfied with the political weakness of the late Qing dynasty, as they could get away with annexing Taiwan, claiming Korea as a colony, and taking over from the Russians in Manchuria.
So they are less than pleased when it becomes obvious than Kang's intent is to set the country on a path of nationalist self-assertion and economic modernization.
But Kang is in a stronger and more stable position than Yuan in OTL, having just got a significant popularity boost from the reclamation of the German possessions in Shandong, and not having to deal, as Yuan did, with a state of virtual civil war and constant questioning of his legitimacy.
