In what ways did Zhang try to use Britain and the United States to contain Japan?

For example, the Northeast introduced American capital and invited the United States to build Datong (Dahushan to Tongliao), Shenhai (Shenyang to Hailong) and other railways and Huludao ports. However, Japan's request to build Jilin (Huining, North Korea) railways and mines, set up factories for immigrants, and prevent China from building ports in Huludao was not complied with, causing strong dissatisfaction in Japan.
