Political Cartoon Analysis

 

       This political cartoon is about the Open Door Policy in China. You can see its about this because it says it across the top and it shows China letting other countries in to trade. The cartoonist's message is that China is opening it doors for other nations including the U.S. to be open to trade. You can see this because its showing other countries and the U.S. over China. Someone else's opinion might be that China should have left there trading closed and kept away from opening up trade with other countries. You can see that the cartoonist had people in China and they were trading and he portrayed it as a good thing. The writer used two techniques; labeling and exaggeration. Its showed exaggeration where the people representing countries are very big and labeling where they are labeling the country China and at the top what the cartoon is about. This cartoon supports my American Imperialism view. You can see this because its showing how we are expanding our sphere of influence and opening up trade with China.
