Open Door Policy Political Cartoon Analysis

The issue this political cartoon is about is America keeping the Open Door Policy. I can tell this because there is a brick that says U.S. army which means the U.S. army is help keeping the Open Door Policy from being violated. The author’s message on this political cartoon is that the U.S. army and America are enforcing the Open Door Policy. I say this because there is a brick that labels U.S. army holding the door. Other people might think that the U.S. army is securing the Open Door Policy. I think other people will think this because the brick is the U.S. army and Uncle Sam is also helping keep that door closed. The present techniques are Analogy and Labeling because the brick is like a door stopper keeping the door open like the U.S. army and navy is protecting the Open Door Policy. Also the brick is labeled as the U.S. arm and navy. This supports my opinion on American imperialism because it allows America to spread its influence among other countries like China.
