The slave trade? The Europeans.
Japan was exposed to ideas that revolutionized its society
A policy the Japanese government came up with that sealed off Japan's borders to exclude both the missionaries and the merchants, without affecting trade with Europeans. The only port that remained open for trade was in Nagasaki.
The simple answer is because China had in the 30's been invaded by Japan, as part of Japan's ambitions into creating an empire. After Pearl Harbor, America sought every means possible in terms of fighting Japan. Supplying China was done as an intention of broadening Japan's war front. The Chinese guerillas had been harrassing the Japanese despite Japan's cruel repression of China, and with American weapons, they were greatly aided with these supplies which they used to divert and pull sections of Japan's army from other theatres of the war where the allies were, thus as I said, expanding the war front for the Japanese, forcing the Japanese to be fighting in all areas.
Believed they would receive no benefit from the increased contact with Europeans

Japan treated Europeans badly because of the spread of Christianity. Missionaries went around trying and converting people. The Shogun did not like this so he persecuted Christians. This is similar in China with the war they fought with Europe excepted it was to prevent trade. Japan did trade with Europe for a short time
No they wanted to trade with Japan So It is false.
