I've been studying a little bit of history and I know that the Chinese and Japanese like to think of themselves as a great and powerful culture with a rich history.
However, when Europeans first arrived in their lands, they were not interested in adapting European culture or technology. But as the Europeans progressed, they eventually decided they had to modernize. (Japan being first because of their imperial ambitions and forced relations with the United States.)
So, did they decide that their forefathers were incorrect to shun the Western way of life?
