Question

Limiting contact with foreigners was the main goal of Chinese

Answer 1

The correct option is "isolationism"

Isolationism is a concept that is used preferentially in state politics to designate a political inclination that defends the isolation, isolation and nonintervention of this or that country in international conjunctural issues. That is, putting it in simpler terms, isolationism proposes that a country does not intervene in any way in an external conflict that afflicts another nation or group of nations so that it does not end up affecting their interests.

It should be noted that this is a political trend that has been assumed by several nations at various times in history, from China, through England and even the United States have played a leading role at some point in its political history.

Answer 2

Limiting contact with foreigners was the main goal of Chinese isolationism. So, in the 15th century, the foreign policy of the Ming dynasty in China became increasingly isolationist. It was the Hongwu Emperor that tried to propose the policy to ban all maritime shipping in 1371. The Qing dynasty followed in his footsteps, and often continued with the same practice of isolationism.
