Compare and Contrast Chinese and Japanese responses to European dominance.

Both Japan and China initially objected to trade with European countries. China limits trade to the port and forces trade countries to pay respect to them. Japan in the 16th century restricted trade with a small number of Dutch merchants. The Chinese think they are better than the Europeans; the Japanese are afraid of them

After all, due to the military power of Westerners, these two countries had to recognize the trade with European and American cultures. China opened more ports and was forced to allow Christian missionaries to set up a church. Scope of Impact - Geographical region dominates - All major Western powers are established in China and foreigners are free to live in China freely. Both countries have made political changes based on foreign influences. A government was established against foreign sentiments to drive out foreigners due to so-called boxer rebellion. It failed. Japan has also undergone a political change, the Tokugawa shogunate has been replaced by a new government called the Meiji Restoration. China is trying to combat the cultural adaptation of boxer's rebellion against Europe, but Japan will encourage or make it possible with the aim of leading the influence of Europe and America someday in its territory and worldwide I will. Japanese students were dispatched abroad and Western consultants came to Japan for cultural exchange. As a result of modernizing and developing one of the world's most competitive educational systems in Japan, the Japanese automobile industry and technology industry has become the central stage of the world.

At the same time, in this period European powers interfering with the Chinese problem are abandoned, as a result of unequal participation in the battle against the boxer's rebellion and the leadership of the First Sino-Japan War, Japan has taken over the Europeans It replaced. Following the collapse of the Qing Dynasty and the rise of the nationalist Kuomintang, the impact of Europe in China has declined to a symbolic position. After occupying Manchuria in 1905, Japan dominated the Asian problem both militarily and culturally Many of the most famous examples of Chinese scholars educated in Japan later discovered Chinese Kuomintang nationalist movement Did.

Compared to Japan and Americans comparison, the comparison of Japan and Europeans, Japan and China, and other combinations between Europeans and Americans seems to be much smaller. There are several reasons you can think. First, Japan and the United States are neighboring countries of the Pacific Ocean, and there are many people and information flowing between the two countries. Second, Japan and the US have political, economic and cultural influences on the world, and many people are interested in the difference (and similarity) between these two powers. Thirdly, in terms of interpersonal communication, many people seem to think the two countries are extremes.

Westerners sometimes think that the culture of China and Japan are almost similar. Since ancient times, the culture of China and Japanese have been compared with each other. China and Japan are neighboring countries, but the cultural differences between the two countries are quite different from their similarities. Chinese culture is the world's asset. In 1900, believing in Chinese scholar Liang Qichao, China was one of four ancient civilizations - the other three were India, Babylon and Egypt. China is geographically large, famous for its very rich culture.
