The Open Door Policy was a diplomatic principle established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily aimed at ensuring equal trading rights for all nations in China. It sought to prevent any single power from monopolizing trade with China and to maintain China's territorial integrity amidst foreign imperialist interests. This policy was articulated by U.S. Secretary of State John Hay in 1899 and emphasized the importance of free access to Chinese markets for all countries. Ultimately, it aimed to promote fair competition and protect China's sovereignty.
