Kennan felt that the Munich agreement was no longer necessary because of two reasons. The first reason is that the defenses of the Czech people are very strong while the second reason is that apparently the German people are very much prepared to remove Hitler.
This is true.
For example, this is the case with hate speech laws. Since it is not precisely defined or understood what hate speech actually constitutes, many and no things at the same time can be considered to be hate speech, so it can be used politically to reduce the freedom of expression and the rights given to people by the first amendment.
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.
