Answer:
B) native citizens' fear that Chinese immigration would mean fewer jobs for the native population
Explanation:
<u>The cartoon in question dates from 1880. and is called "The Tables Turned". </u>
The Chinese population began to immigrate to the US in the 1850s. They first started doing physical labor, but soon after started their works and entrepreneurship.
<u>This wasn't welcomed by the population living in the US. They have feared this would affect their economy and that the Chinese population would take their jobs.</u>
The name of the cartoon "The Tables Turned" refers to the fact that, in the cartoon, those who were on the continent for a longer time, had no jobs, and how the economy and work has been taken over by the incoming Chinese population. The jobs aren't only manual jobs, but also jobs for women (who are looking displeased in the cartoon) such as nursing jobs, laundries, offices, etc. The cartoon shows the fear, but also hostility towards newcomers.
This attitude depicted in the cartoon resulted in the Chinese Exclusion Acts that limited the immigration of Chinese workers in the US.
The Chinese empire has been subject to unfair unilateral treatment for centuries. As foreign powers such as the Portuguese and the British sought to get their hands on this country's riches. This can be seen during the Opium Wars, which led to the colonization of the ports of Macao and Hong Kong, by the Portuguese and British respectively.
The military power exercised over China by foreign powers was replaced by the economic power of this same nations in the form of foreign investment that comes to China and sets up manufacturing sites that set unideal working conditions for Chinese locals at the expense of the enrichment of these businesses.
