The Qing government was at home and abroad, unable to resist, so the western powers became even more presumptuous and took advantage of the fish in troubled waters in an attempt to conquer China. Cixi and the enemy of foreigners 1898, Emperor Guangxu appointed Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao to carry out political reform, but failed because of conservative opposition. Cixi suppressed the Reform Movement and put Emperor Guangxu under house arrest in Zhongnanhai. Countries sympathized with the reformists and helped Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao escape from China. Cixi wanted to depose Emperor Guangxu, but she was afraid to act because of opposition from all countries, and she held a grudge. In addition, foreign powers tried to carve up China, renting harbors in succession and dividing their spheres of influence, which also increased Cixi's xenophobia. The rise and development of the Boxer Movement, formerly known as "Boxer Boxing", was a mass organization in Shandong Province that studied martial arts. It was used by Shandong Governor Yu Xian to counter the church and coerce the parishioners to leave the church.
