The Boxers, a nationalist anti-foreign and anti-Christian movement, targeted these groups, leading to widespread violence and killings. Additionally, many Chinese civilians caught in the conflict suffered from the chaos and military interventions by foreign powers. The rebellion ultimately resulted in significant loss of life and further foreign intervention in China.
Ethnocentrism played a significant role in the Boxer Rebellion by fostering a sense of superiority among both the Chinese Boxers and the foreign powers involved. The Boxers, who were motivated by a belief in the superiority of traditional Chinese culture, targeted foreign missionaries and Chinese Christians, viewing them as corrupting influences. Conversely, the foreign powers, driven by their own ethnocentric attitudes, justified their military intervention and imperial aspirations in China, perceiving themselves as bearers of civilization. This mutual ethnocentrism contributed to escalating tensions and violence during the rebellion.

During the Boxer Rebellion (1899-1901), the Boxers, a nationalist and anti-foreign group in China, aimed to expel foreign influence, particularly from Western powers and Japan, and restore traditional Chinese culture. On the other side, the Eight-Nation Alliance, composed of foreign powers including Britain, the United States, Japan, and others, sought to protect their interests and citizens in China, maintain their privileges, and suppress the uprising to ensure continued access to Chinese markets and resources. Ultimately, the conflict highlighted the struggle between foreign imperialism and Chinese nationalism.
The social aspect of the Boxer Rebellion involved widespread anti-foreign and anti-Christian sentiments among the Chinese population, particularly among the peasantry who felt marginalized and exploited by foreign powers and missionaries. The Boxers, a secret society, sought to restore traditional Chinese values and rid the country of foreign influence, leading to violent uprisings against foreigners and Chinese Christians. This uprising reflected deep-seated frustrations with social inequality, economic hardship, and the erosion of cultural identity due to Western imperialism. Ultimately, the rebellion highlighted the tensions between traditional Chinese society and the forces of modernization and foreign domination.

A counterclaim to the historian's assertion is that the Boxer Rebellion was not solely a Chinese initiative but was significantly influenced by foreign imperialism and exploitation in China. The presence of foreign powers, their economic control, and the resulting social unrest contributed to the conditions that fueled the Boxer movement. Additionally, the rebellion can be viewed as a response to both foreign intervention and domestic issues, suggesting that external factors played a crucial role in its development. Thus, attributing blame entirely to the Chinese people oversimplifies the complex historical context.

The Chinese response to foreign devils, or foreign influences, varied over time but often included a mix of resistance and adaptation. Initially, many Chinese viewed foreign powers with suspicion and hostility, leading to events like the Opium Wars and the Boxer Rebellion, which were driven by a desire to expel foreign influence and assert national sovereignty. However, there were also periods of engagement, as some Chinese intellectuals sought to learn from foreign technologies and ideas to modernize the country. Ultimately, this complex relationship shaped China's evolving stance towards globalization and foreign interaction.
