Why were the Jesuit missionaries so successful at establishing positions at the highest level of Chinese and Japanese society?

- This is a topic I love so ima write a lot.

The history of the missions of the Jesuits in China in the early modern era stands as one of the notable events in the early history of relations between China and the Western world, as well as a prominent example of relations between two cultures and belief systems in the pre-modern age. The missionary efforts and other work of the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits between the sixteenth century and seventeenth century played a significant role in introducing Western knowledge, science, and culture to China. Their work laid much of the foundation for much of Christian culture in Chinese society today.

Hope this helped you out mark me branliiest.
