During 2000, the people of Asia, specifically Japan and China, were afraid of Europe taking over their countries. The people of Japan and China saw how Europeans and their dominance was spreading globally. They were afraid of European ideas coming to Asia and their influence spreading all over Asia's strong traditional values. Nonetheless Japan and China were afraid of their culture s and traditions disappearing because of European influence. Nonetheless the whole globe had to deal with European imperialism, as well as the problems going on within their countries. In 1793 China broke down and couldn't take it anymore. Chinese emperor Qianlong decided that it would be best for China to slow down trade with Europe. This made Europeans question their relationship with China thus making Europe upset. By 1912 this approach failed and thus China's exports became dominated by Europe. Not only was China's export in trouble but so was the country in general. China's population tripled in size and the country's agricultural was not enough to feed everyone. The gap between the rich and the poor also expanded in size because of this. China suffered many years until leader Hong Xiuquan (1814–1864) stepped in. He claimed he was from the gods and said he could restore China. Although he stopped one of the rebellions, his mission to save China failed. Next came the Qin dynasty which most people had faith in , to their surprise their government system was weak as well. Nonetheless China was confused and was in a state of terror,and questioned what to do next.
