B. They wanted to replace their own culture with the colonizers’ culture.

Explanation:

Many countries that were colonized in the past decide to keep ties with their colonizing countries even after they gain independence. Usually, this is due to the fact that the small countries need assistance with some specific matter of governance. For example, they might need economic support, help with managing their affairs or military protection. However, it is never an attempt to replace their culture with that of the colonizing country.

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.
