Why did the boxer nationalist want the expulsion of foreign merchants from china?

By 1800, China was a prosperous country with a highly developed agricultural system. China was not industrialized, but workers in small workshops were able to produce most of the goods the Chinese needed. Because China was practically self-sufficient, its emperors had little interest in trading with Europeans. For decades, Europeans could do business only at the port of Canton. Despite pleas from Britain and other nations, China refused to open other ports to foreigners. The Chinese regarded European goods as inferior to their own and bought few goods from the European merchants at Canton. 

The Electoral College is a body of electors established by the United States Constitution, which forms every four years for the sole purpose of electing the president and vice president of the United States.

In my opinion the Electoral college should be abolished. It was created so every state get a say, but that is just not right. When candidates run for President, it would make more sense for MAJORITY of our votes should be able to determine the decision of our election. If we use the Popular vote to determine or Senators, House of Representatives, Governors, and even our Judges, it would make more sense to proceed with the system.

Why Donald Trump was elected, Hillary Clinton had Majority of the Vote, but she still lost, and had particular WAY more votes then President Trump. Therefore, if our vote really matter, then we should be doing it by the popular vote.
