U.S. Secretary of State John Hay wrote the Open Door Notes in 1899-1900.
Secretary of State John Jay issued the Open Door Note to propose the Open Door Policy in 1899 to deal with keeping China open to trade with all countries on an equal basis.
The Open Door Notes were a series of diplomatic messages sent by U.S. Secretary of State John Hay in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, advocating for equal trading rights in China and the preservation of its territorial integrity. They aimed to prevent any single nation from monopolizing trade with China and to ensure that all countries could access its markets. The notes were significant in promoting the idea of an "open door" policy in international trade and diplomacy. They reflected the United States' growing interest in Asia and its desire to assert influence without direct territorial control.
