The issue of this political cartoon is the Open Door Policy. The cartoon shows Uncle Sam keeping the "door" to China open. The cartoonist's message is America forcefully kept China open to trade. America and other countries claimed spheres of influence in parts of China. People at this time could made the idea of America taking land and resources from China as great idea. Others might agree with me by saying America and other countries went too far with trade. Some techniques used by the cartoonist are symbolism be showing what countries did to China. Labeling is used to show the "door" to China being kept open. The cartoon shows what I am opposed to. China opened up to new countries and was disrespected and taken advantage of.
