China is so resistant to the western influence because they are a proud people who are very proud of their culture. China is also resistant to western influence because they have the financial power which can match that of the west.
The so-called unequal treaties were considered unfair to China because they were imposed under duress, primarily following military defeats, and stripped China of sovereignty and territorial integrity. These treaties, such as the Treaty of Nanking in 1842, forced China to cede Hong Kong, open several ports to foreign trade, and grant extraterritorial rights to foreign nationals, undermining Chinese laws and authority. Additionally, they favored Western powers economically and politically, leading to widespread resentment and a sense of humiliation among the Chinese population.
A sphere of influence is power to affect developments without having formal authority. For individuals as well as governments, it is wise to have a clear notion of this sphere so that your efforts are effective. It also prevents frustration about a process or system if you realize it is outside of your ability to make a difference. The term is often used in terms of the amount of power countries have over a particular region or state.

It seems there may be a misunderstanding; Japan was not particularly known for violence in World War I. In fact, Japan joined the Allies and primarily sought to expand its influence in Asia, particularly by seizing German territories in the Pacific and China. The perception of Japanese violence is more associated with World War II, where militarism, nationalism, and imperial ambitions led to aggressive actions in China and the Pacific.

"Kung Fu" is a modern 'Western' phrase to describe all the martial arts of China. So, yes, "kung Fu" is from China.
When western merchants reached China in the 1600's and 1700's they were at first surprised to find so many people in one place. They traded tea and spices with the Chinese at that time.
It is to the right from Greenwich, so I suppose that it is on the Eastern hemisphere.
Because China got the lunar calender and the western calender so the lunar have to catch up the western calender so that's why
Daoism presented positive female role models, so it had a positive effect on the role of women in China.
In chinese, Xi means Western. An means Peace. So Xian means the emperor wanted the western of China would be peaceful without war.
Japan saw how China became nothing but a place for WEstern powers to misuse and take advantage of, and so to avoid becoming destroyed by other nations Japan closed themselves off from the outside world. They were trying to preserve their culture and freedom from outside influence.
