The correct response is:
Christian missionaries were intervening in local matters and changing traditional Chinese cultural values.
The Boxer Rebellion (1899-1901) was partly fueled by resentment against foreign influence in China, including that of missionaries who were perceived as undermining traditional Chinese culture and values. The Boxers sought to expel foreign powers and restore Chinese sovereignty.
