The Open Door Policy

  This political cartoon is about the Open Door Policy. The Open Door Policy stopped countries from forming monopolies on trade and business in China. The cartoonist of this cartoon thought that the Open Door Policy was unfair to the Chinese. Evidence to support this is that the man in the back, probably Chinese, is yelling at the other people and looks angry. Other people who support imperialism might say that China is benefitting from these countries trading with them. The cartoonist’s use of symbolism is very prominent. The people of the cartoon are their country’s version of Uncle Sam. Labeling is also present in the pizza that the people are cutting. The pizza says, “Chine,” which is an unfinished “Chinese.” This cartoon supports my view of imperialism because this cartoon shows that imperialism doesn't care about the other people’s opinions.
