As previously indicated on this site, many Chinese also regarded the missionaries as imperialists and therefore undesirable.
In 2024, various articles by Chinese writers still testify to this...

Part of article Baidu encyclopedia (Google translate)....

In 1899, the peasant brothers of Shandong, who had been full of heroic feelings since ancient times, first started a campaign against foreigners.
This was a general xenophobia that developed from opposing foreign missionaries to opposing all foreigners with long
noses and blue eyes. Foreign missionaries built churches everywhere to preach, which the simple Chinese peasants could not tolerate. This year finally reached the period of general outbreak. As far as we can see now,
the Boxer Rebellion quickly spread from Shandong to the entire country.
Boxers entered the Beijing-Tianjin area and besieged foreign legations and foreign churches. This shows that this movement has a mass base and cannot simply be attributed to the ignorance and exploitation of the boxers. They felt the oppression of imperialism in general that we may not be able to personally experience today.
The action of the Boxers was indeed too intense and too ill-advised, but it was the strong sense of self-protection of a weak person that ultimately led to
explosive force led.

正如本站之前所指出的，许多中国人也把传教士视为帝国主义者，因此不受欢迎。

2024年，中国作家的各种文章仍然证明这一点……

部分文章百度百科（谷歌翻译）....

1899年，自古以来就充满英雄情怀的山东农民兄弟首先发起了反洋运动。

这是一场普遍的排外主义，从反对外国传教士发展到反对所有长鼻子和蓝眼睛的外国人。外国传教士在各地建造教堂传教，这是中国农民无法容忍的。这一年终于到了普遍爆发的时期。就我们现在所看到的，义和团运动迅速从山东蔓延到全国。义和团进入京津地区，围攻外国使馆和外国教堂。这表明这场运动有群众基础，不能简单地归咎于义和团的无知和剥削。他们感受到了我们今天可能无法亲身体验的普遍帝国主义压迫。
义和团的行动确实太过激烈，太过草率，但正是弱者的强烈自我保护意识，才最终导致了武力的爆发。
