The open Door Policy

The issue of this political cartoon is the Open Door Policy. The Open Door Policy is when America stopped all trade with any other country. In the cartoon, it shows that America is not letting any other foreigners come to China. it shows Uncle Sam standing at Chinas border and guarding it. That technique is labeling. Another technique is irony. America is not letting any other country or, in this case the Russians, pass through. It shows irony because America is letting themselves in while saying forming monopolies with other countries is bad. this cartoon does not support imperialism.
