The Open Door Policy, primarily associated with U.S. foreign policy towards China in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was articulated by U.S. Secretary of State John Hay in 1899. This policy aimed to ensure equal trading rights for all nations and prevent any single power from monopolizing trade with China. Hay's notes to the major European powers and Japan emphasized the importance of maintaining China's territorial integrity and the principle of free trade.
