i believe it has something to do with isolation. they had huge mountain ranges cutting them off from Europe - the greatest powers at the time - and this separation from the rest of the world led them to believe they were superior than everyone else. they cut themselves off completely until European powers challenged them, won, and set up the open door policy. this created spheres of influence in china for several different countries. china at this point was very behind in modernization because they had isolated themselves for so long, so they were very weak to resistence.
