Question 16 • TX-US Government IC (Summer 25-26)
The Open Door policy called for equal trading opportunities among foreign powers in China. It also said that Chinese authorities, not foreign powers, should collect tariffs, and that ports in each country’s sphere of influence should remain open to other nations. So equal treatment in taxes, Chinese collection of tariffs, and free access to ports were provisions; foreign powers were not exempt from taxes, and the United States was not assigned oversight.
