The statement that is not a reason for China and Japan turning away from contact with foreigners beginning in about 1450 is:
realization that their civilizations were backward and poor
Both China and Japan had rich cultural heritages and significant achievements, and their decision to limit contact with foreigners was more about preserving their own cultural identities and avoiding external influence rather than believing their civilizations were backward or poor.
