Imagine that you are an adviser to either China’s emperor or Japan’s shogun. Write a letter advising the ruler whether you support a policy of isolation or engagement. Explain your reasons for supporting that policy. Your letter should be three paragraphs and each paragraph should discuss one reason for supporting or opposing isolation

Answer:

Explanation:

If I were to be an adviser to any of the two, I would surely support a policy of isolation. Chinese emperors and Japanese shoguns had a policy of isolation for a very long time.ALL the Chinese emperors opted for, if not isolation, then at least no modernization - Chines engagement with the West during the imperial period only happened when the Chinese were forced into it. Same with the Shogun - who lost power, the position being abolished due to modernization. So, the only thing the emperor wants to hear is isolation, as they like things the way they are, and anyway Japanese and Chinese rulers regarded foreigners, and Westerners, as barbarians who couldn't possibly have anything positive to offer them other than tribute.

Dear emperor,
(I do not support your new policy of isolationism. I think that we are missing out on key pieces of technology. Europe and the rest of Asia are growing and making new technological advancements and we are far behind. )
(I also think that it is dangerous for us to go into isolation, because when we come out, who knows how advanced the European weapons will be. Right now we are ahead, but for how long? We would be foolish to ignore this.)
(Finally, I think we should engage with Europe to form good relationships. As previously stated, European empires are growing. We need to make sure China is on their good side.)
