China was a very traditional society and other the reign of the Kangxi Emperor and his grandson China had the military means to reject a British offer for trade without the threat of having colonized. The Kangxi Emperor considered European goods to be far inferior to those made by the Chinese. If you are referring to the later opium trade, then China refused to allow the trade because it began to see the effects of the drug on the people of China. However, after the Opium wars china was forced by the British to reopen its opium trade.
China's reasons for rejecting British offers of trade was based on the their religious beliefs. They believed that all the foreign merchants were barbarians.
China believed it was self-sufficient and didn't need outside goods.
China rejected British offers to trade primarily due to their disdain for British opium imports, which were causing widespread addiction and social issues in China. The Chinese government also viewed British demands for more favorable trade terms as disrespectful and an encroachment on their sovereignty. Additionally, the Chinese authorities were concerned about maintaining social stability and protecting their traditional Confucian values from what they perceived as disruptive Western influences.
