| Description | Cartoon shows Communist Chinese leader Mao standing at the entrance to "Far East Peace." Through the open door can be seen the words "Renunciation of Aggression." The "Open Door" was the name for the U.S. policy toward China at the beginning of the 20th century which advocated equal trade opportunities in China for all. In the summer of 1955, the Chinese Communists began to exhibit a conciliatory stance toward other countries, especially those in Asia and Africa. At the same time, Chinese and American representatives met in Geneva to discuss the mutual return of detained civilians. Suggests that the Chinese have an opportunity to promote peace in the Far East if they will abandon their aggressive tactics. |
