The Boxers were concerned about foreign influences and the introduction of opium by European traders. Adrian Hastings (A World History of Christianity) says the missionaries were haunted by the fear that pride would drive the Chinese to revolt, and so thought it important to keep them in a state of humility. Missionaries, Protestant as well as Catholic, had depended on the opium connection, with many travelling to China in ships carrying opium, their funds remitted via opium traders and their charitable or educational work relying on donations from resident Western firms connected with the opium trade.

What did The Boxers believe in the boxer rebellion?
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.
