What did Britain want to import into China during the Opium War?
The British needed Chinese goods, primarily tea, but the Chinese didn't need anything from the British. That would leave a trade deficit on the British side, so they got the Chinese nation addicted to opium (unprocessed heroin) which they produced in India. When the Chinese emperor tried to ban opium, the Chinese people rebelled against him, backed by the British, which led to Opium wars.

China resisted European influence until when?
There are various times in which China resisted European influence. For example, during the Opium Wars in which they resisted the British.
Did the Chinese start a war because they didn't tell anybody how to make silk?
No. China did not start the Opium wars. The Opium wars were started by the British, who desperately wanted Chinese products, but were not able to get any because the Chinese people were not interested in British imports. Britain finally discovered Opium, and quickly got the Chinese population addicted. When the emperor of the time banned Opium, Britain attacked China, which launched the Opium wars.

The imperialism that helped force the importation of opium to China by the British empire resulted in nothing "good". The Chinese were exploited, and this only helped to increase imperialism. Never a good thing.
