The Open Door principle was established in the late 1800s and early 1900s to allow equal access to previously established ports, and any trade or commerce opportunities in China among a group of countries. It also worked to protect Chinese sovereignty, allowed for the Chinese to collect tariffs, and prevent China from being partitioned by various foreign countries. The United States Secretary of State, John Hays, worked with Great Britain, Russia, France, Germany, Italy and Japan to establish the principle. While often refereed to as such, it was not a formal policy established in a a treaty or in international law.
In China it refers to a December 1978 policy that allowed foreign businesses to set up operations in one of four Special Economic Zones, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou and Xiamen. Additional references could include the Berlin Conference in 1885 regarding levying preferential duties in the Congo or

The US Open Door Policy was designed to open up the European-made Spheres of Influence in CHINA to US influence and trade.
The sphere of influence refers to a region where a country has significant cultural, economic, or political influence, often without formal authority. In the context of American expansion, particularly during the 19th and early 20th centuries, the U.S. sought to establish spheres of influence in various regions, such as Latin America and Asia, to secure trade opportunities and counter European colonialism. This strategy was exemplified by the Monroe Doctrine, which asserted U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere, and later by initiatives like the Open Door Policy in China. Overall, spheres of influence were crucial in shaping America's imperial ambitions and foreign policy during its expansionist period.
America wanted free trade in China. Europeans wanted to control trading zones.
The European system of spheres of influence in China threatened U.S. interests because it marginalized American access to Chinese markets and resources. The United States feared that it would be left out of the economic and territorial carve-up in China, which would limit its ability to expand trade and exert influence in the region. Additionally, the U.S. saw this as a threat to the principles of free trade and open diplomacy, which were important elements of American foreign policy at the time.
