Anti-missionary riots in China
Starting with the arrival in China of the Jesuit China missions in 1552, the number of Western missionaries increased gradually. The Treaty of Tientsin in 1858 gave the Christians free run in the country and the right to purchase land to build. The Western missionaries saw themselves the God sent preachers while Chinese saw them as the barbarians (Chinese: 夷), the extension of foreign invasion, shielded by treaties and backed by their governments' gunboats. Anti missionary riots became part of the landscape, culminating the Boxer Rebellion in 1900.
