Answer:
China tenía una cultura milenaria que había sobrevivido a toda clase de amenazas extranjeras. De una forma u otra, por mucho que cambiara la persona, la dinastía y la etnia que ejercía el poder, la cultura china había salido airosa de las influencias extranjeras. De hecho, los conquistadores siempre habían acabado por someterse a la tradición china.
Nada podía hacer sospechar, a principio del siglo XIX, que China sufriera una transformación que acabaría con esta cultura guardada durante siglos y, que además, acabaría siendo dominada por las potencias europeas bajo la impotente mirada de la dinastía Qing. A finales del siglo XVIII, los contactos con Europa no dejaban de ser meras anécdotas para los chinos. Ni siquiera los jesuitas que habían empezado a llegar a las tierras asiáticas parecían suponer un problema.
Bien recibidos por el entonces emperador Kangxi, los jesiutas parecieron olvidar su principal cometido, las enseñanzas cristianas, e iniciaron una labor de estudio de la propia cultura china. No es de extrañar que emisarios papeles fueran enviados a poner fin a la actividad de estos.
Tampoco los productos que traían los europeos causaban sensación entre la población china, ni siquiera entre sus clases más altas. Es más, sucedía todo lo contrario, los europeos se encontraban mucho más interesados por las manufacturas chinas.

Answer:
The National Party was elected in 1948 on the policy of Apartheid ('separateness'). This 'separateness' put South Africans of different racial groups on their own paths in a partitioned system of development.
Explanation:
<h3>Effects of the Group Areas Act</h3>
The GAA had strange implications for governance and responsibility as it became more elaborate and amended. For example, the Coloured townships of Coronationville, Noordgesig, Newclare, Riverlea, and Western Township are administrated by Johannesburg City Council while Bosmont is the responsibility of the Department of Community Development (South African Institute of Race Relations, 1964: 216). The work of welfare organizations was made more difficult by the GAA, like Lunalegwaba House, a group home for African boys, in Johannesburg could not operate because the regulations of the GAA did not allow the White charity to own the property (South African Institute for Race Relations, 1967: 306). People attempted to use the courts to overturn the GAA, though each time they were unsuccessful (Dugard, 1978, 324). Others decided to use civil disobedience and other protests, like ‘sit-ins’ at restaurants, were experienced across South Africa in the early 60s. The 'sit-ins' were not ill-received by the average White citizen, which the South African Institute of Race Relations believed proved that they did not object to sharing restaurants with the other racial groups (1961: 183). There was also resistance from Cape Town City Council who voted before 1964 to keep District Six and the central business district not dedicated to any one racial group; they had the support of the Cape Town Chamber of Commerce on this decision (South African Institute of Race Relations, 1964: 213).
