It's been a while since I read it, but I believe Alex Woodside's Lost Modernities argues that 'Easternization' was enthusiastically embraced by the enlightenment. His contention (IIRC) is essentially that much of what we think of as 'Modern' in terms of governance (bureaucracy, meritocracy, legalism) was imported from China. I'm weak on western history, but there might be an argument to be made that reactionary, anti-enlightenment forces were essentially pursuing an 'anti-Easternization' agenda, though of course I doubt they conceived of it that way.

On another note, anti-Chinese legislation on the west coast of north america could be considered to fit the bill, though the concerns were more racial than cultural/economic.

You may also find potential answers for your question in central Europe during the time of Russian communism, when Soviet soft power was supported by local communist parties who were often brutally suppressed.

To piggy back on your question: did Middle Eastern countries ever face something we could call 'Easternization'?

At some point during the showboating over the Korea-US Free Trade Agreement I did some research into the history of US presidential candidates' campaign promises about trade with Asian nations; virtually every Democratic candidate since at least Carter has promised to "crack down" on imports from some Asian country that was stealing US jobs.

Carter promised to fix the Singaporeans, and subsequent candidates pledged to deal with Japan (I won't comment beyond the 20 year rule).

The claims were not easy to dig up online, as I don't believe any of them did anything substantial about them once in office. The complaints usually rotated around manufacturing and were targeted at the Democrats' constituencies in the Rust Belt.
