The establishment of the Open Door policy

(1899-1900) and the response to the Boxer

Rebellion (1900) showed that the United States

wanted to

(1) curb Russian expansion

(2) gain access to Chinese markets

(3) build factories in the Far East

(4) limit Asian immigration to the United States

The establishment of the Open Door Policy (1899-1900) and the response to the Boxer Rebellion (1900) showed that the United States wanted to (2) gain access to Chinese markets. The Open Door Policy was basically a trade agreement where powers could trade openly with China, but more so in a way to reap benefits than benefiting both countries. The Boxer Rebellion was a rebellion from Chinese nationalists opposing European and American intervention for trade in China.
