Open Door Policy

     This political cartoon is about the open door policy that led the Boxer Rebellion in China. The behind of Uncle Sam is the background of China which tells the issue that between U.S and China. The message of this cartoon is the U.S. open the door of China’s culture with the key which means the U.S and China sharing each other. The foreigners front of Uncle Sam looks they have interests in China. The other opinion that another person could have on this issue is U.S open the door, but not China. It does not seem the China be pleased to U.S. which means the China didn’t have many opportunities to state their rights. The cartoonist used symbolism that the person who hold the key is Uncle Sam, and the people of front of him are the other foreigners from other nations. Additionally, the cartoonist used exaggeration that Uncle Sam is bigger than other foreigners. Also the key and door are big that shows they are important. This cartoon support my pro-imperialism on America. The foreigners look interesting of Open Door Policy with Uncle Sam’s smile.
