Compare the responses of the Chinese and the Japanese to demands levied by the West in the era after 1500

Write an essay (3-4 pages) comparing the responses of the Chinese and the Japanese to demands levied by the West in the era after 1500. In some way their reactions were similar and in others dramatically different. Your job is to describe these similarities and differences and above all, to assess the relative outcomes. Although you are writing from the perspective of the Chinese and Japanese who were on the receiving end of Western intrusion be sure to include the Westen perspective too. It differed between the two and changed over time.
