CHAPTER XIX GUARDING THE "OPEN DOOR" Negotiations had been proceeding all through the autumn of 1916, between the Corporation and the Chinese Government, concerning the modifications which the former desired to introduce into the Grand Canal contract signed in May. The negotiations on the part of the Chinese were in the hands of the Minister of Agriculture, and of Mr. Pan Fu, a young Shantung capitalist and official of progressive ideas. As the Minister of Agriculture was not well disposed, it was found difficult to get him to agree to the additional advantages which the Corporation desired to secure before finally ratifying the contract. Shortly before Christmas, however, a basis of agreement had been reached. Just at this time there came from America the astonishing news that the American corporation had invited Japanese capitalists to cooperate in this contract, on condition that such cooperation would be acceptable to the Chinese Government. The representatives of the American corporation in Peking had no thought nor inkling whatsoever of this change in policy. The step had been taken without warning and without consulting either the American Government or the representatives of the company in China. It may be imagined in what position it left the latter, to whom the Chinese had entrusted these important rights solely because of the confidence they had in Americans, both as to their ability to carry through an enterprise of this kind, and as to their complete freedom from all political after-thought. Unmindful of the fiduciary relationship which their repre sentatives had established in China, the American corporation, without first sounding the Chinese and without giving any intimation to the American Government--through whose...

Combining biography with foreign-policy analysis, David L. Anderson provides a fresh interpretation of Sino-American relations in the nineteenth century. The book focuses on the eight Americans who occupied the chief U.S. diplomatic post in China from 1861 to 1898 and personally shaped American policy toward China in the forty years before Secretary of State John Hay's Open Door Notes. Their policies, as Anderson explains, were as varied as the eight individuals, and yet at the same time were characteristically American—expressing both idealistic altruism and imperialistic self-interest. Ultimately, John Hay merged the altruism and the self-interest in the Open Door Notes of 1899 and 1900, which influenced much of America's twentieth-century conduct in Asia. Anderson reemphasizes Hay's role in bridging the differences that have plagued U.S. policy in China.
