lol, I must be doing the same geography you're doing. c: They were members of a secret group; they hated foreigners, especially missionaries. Therefore, they opposed outsiders coming into China.
It's not actually illegal, but it is very dangerous - several missionaries have been kidnapped and murdered in recent years.

The boxers believed that missionaries and foreigners were creating problems in China.
The Boxers, so called by Europeans, who observed that the ill-equipped rebels often fought with their fists, rose up in opposition to foreign influence in China. During the second half of the 19th Century, the weak Qing Dynasty was forced to make a series of "unequal treaties" with foreign powers, which allowed for exploitative trade agreements, Christian missionaries, and legal immunity for foreigners. The Boxers attacked foreign merchants, missionaries, and Chinese Christians, who had converted under the tutelage of Western missionaries. Foreign embassies were placed under siege, and the Chinese military split on whether to help the Boxers or to put down the rebellion. After a Western and Japanese intervention force put down the rebellion, Chinese authorities claimed they opposed the Boxers all along, but in reality, the Empress Dowager and some of her generals supported the uprising, while other generals fought the Boxers.
I don't think you can?
The Boxer Rebellion, which occurred in China between 1899 and 1901, had a significant impact on missionaries in the region. Many missionaries faced hostility and violence from the Boxers, who sought to expel foreign influence and Christianity from China. Some missionaries were killed, while others were besieged in their compounds. However, the aftermath of the rebellion also led to increased foreign military intervention and protection for missionaries, ultimately solidifying their presence in China, albeit under a climate of tension and conflict.
