Which culture do you think will have greater impact on your common world in the centuries to come Chinese culture or Western culture?
Western culture, without any question. Even though China has transformed itself since communism became its form of government, its contributions to world culture, other than very cheap consumer goods, has been minimal. I forsee a violent, radical political revolution there, within the next 10 years or so: some form of democratic society will result from it.
English has become the "global" language. All societies are adopting and are striving to develop to the best of their capabilities, an industrial and techniological model, based on that of the West. The flow of cultural influence will continue to be from west to east, for the forseeable future.

It is a fact of History that vessels left Europe (notably Britain) to go to the Far East. No junk or sampan has sailed up the Thames yet........

I am not editing the former answer but instead offering a second opinion:
Chinese culture is on the rise. China has gone through enormous political changes in the past century, but it remains one of the oldest cultures in the world with over five thousand years of culture history. Its contributions to global culture throughout history are enormous and constant. Paper, gunpowder, silk, calligraphy, the decimal system, the compass are just a few of the major inventions that originated in China and have now in use, globally. Because China was a closed culture for many centuries, these inventions were quietly incorporated into other cultures and little credit was given to their Chinese roots.
Regardless of what happens to the Chinese political system, it is a unique culture that currently espouses the only functional communist regime mixed with a capitalist economy. It has an open market but a closed government. With more than 1/5th of the world's population being ethnically Chinese (and some say it's actually more like 1/4), whatever happens in China will have a huge effect on what is happening in the world and actually, already does. If one defines the world as a collection of its cultures, the Chinese culture represents a huge component of world culture.
While English has become a global language, the rising popularity of Mandarin among non-Chinese speaking cultures is evident. It is the second most widely spoken language in the world and may very well surpass English as a global language in the future.
There is archeological evidence that China sailed all over the world in 1412 and 1434, long before Columbus (of Spain) took to the seas in 1492. The Chinese, however, did not rape and pillage and did not claim territory as their own. This was apparently a cultural exchange and research mission that was not about Imperialism or genocide. Documentation of these journeys can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavin_Menzies#1421:_The_Year_China_Discovered_the_World as well as in the evidence of ancient Chinese porcelain found in deep sea archeological dives off the coast of Europe.

What caused anti-western movement?
In the 19th and 20th centuries, the Western nations, predominantly more technologized, used their greater machine power to exploit the various less developed nations, typically withdrawing much of their natural resources at what many consider to be less than fair prices. The attempted - and somewhat successful - eradication of the less developed people's cultural traditions and beliefs was not met with favor, either. Nor were the mass deaths of many civilians, at various times, when the local governments were not found pleasing to the Western powers.

Why was the Yuan Dynasty important to Chinese culture?
The period of the Yuan Dynasty was so important because the Mongols, lead by Kublai Khan, conquered China. Kublai Khan declared himself to be emperor of China, so the Yuan Dynasty was considered a successor of the Mongolian Empire and a Chinese dynasty. Kublai Khan took jobs from the Chinese and replaced them with people he knew who did the same job in Mongolia rather than employing people most capable of the job. The Mongols liked to fight wars and extend their empire, but the Chinese were less interested in war. Some Chinese people didn't like how the Mongols always went out to fight a war and how they never relaxed. There was some good things that happened during the Yuan Dynasty though, too. The Mongols adopted Chinese culture and philosophies like Confucianism. They respected the ways of the Chinese. The Chinese also adopted Mongol culture.

Can you Describe the biggest change for the Chinese people during the zhou dynasty?
The biggest change for the Chinese people during the Zhou Dynasty was the transition from a feudal society to a more centralized political structure, marked by the establishment of the Mandate of Heaven. This philosophical concept justified the emperor's rule and emphasized the importance of moral governance, leading to greater political legitimacy. The period also saw significant advancements in agriculture, technology, and philosophy, including the rise of Confucianism and Daoism, which profoundly influenced Chinese culture and social values. Overall, the Zhou Dynasty laid the foundational elements of Chinese civilization that would resonate for centuries.
