Both the Chinese and the Japanese felt that the Europeans were barbarians. They were particularly repelled by the smell of these foreigners who ate much fattier diets and who did not typically wash very often. They also felt the Europeans lacked subtlety and were rather crass in their behaviors.
The similarities, however, largely end there. The Chinese tried to simply ignore the Europeans. They were able to do this to some degree because the Europeans did not have anything they wanted. They were willing to take European silver in exchange for tea and otherwise leave the Europeans alone. This worked until around the time of the Opium Wars when the Europeans forced China to open itself more.
The precedent that Washington and Congress made was to have cabinet meetings with their top advisers.
Hope this helps!

The socialism never found support among the people in United States due to small power of the workers Union. Also, companies have more political and financial power over their demands.
Second answer:
There could be more support for the homeless and poor people in big cities. Health care and some childhood protection against poverty might be another benefits from it.
Third answer:
The negative aspects we could imagine as the political power of unions increased among the workers. They would start attempting a coup across the country in order to start a social-communist regime. Another problem could be the increase in corruption, based on the good faith of the poor, that is, they could "buy votes" among the poor by threatening them with benefits' cut if the worker does not support them or does not vote for them.
