    Open Door policy, statement of principles initiated by the United States in 1899 and 1900 for the protection of equal privileges among countries trading with China and in support of Chinese territorial and administrative integrity. The statement was issued in the form of circular notes dispatched by U. S. Secretary of State John Hay to Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, and Russia. The Open Door policy was received with almost universal approval in the United States, and for more than 40 years it was a cornerstone of American foreign policy in East Asia.

    The Open Door Policy pertained to trade in China. The policy, stated by the United States, stipulated that:

    Only the Chinese government could collect tariffs on trade. All foreign countries had to pay taxes equally. Countries with a sphere of influence should maintain free access to their ports.

    The Open Door policy was issued by the United States in 1899-1900 as a series of dispatches from the US Secretary of State to other nations that had trading interests in China - - Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, and Russia. The policy reasserted earlier agreements that all countries should have equal access to ports in China, without undue preference to "spheres of influence" for one nation or another. The United States was seeking to maintain an equal footing with other nations in the access to trade in China.
