Abstract
This paper examine an American perspective of Sino-American relations and discuss how different preferences, historical situation and geopolitical dynamics transformed American attitude towards China. This Paper covers a period of 1784 to 1922 when America developed from a new republic to great power and China declined from a authoritative empire to colonial exile. Actually, "Open Door" was just a hope for commercial equality, protections of American citizen and respect the integrity of china. It was not a part of any plan to attack the sphere of influence, challenge the existing structure of exploitation and monopoly of great power but expecting a guarantee of trade in peaceful way. It also discuss the US quest for commercial opportunity and explain those events which support and answer why "Open Door" and foreign policy of America in this era seemed to be ambiguous rather than clear and consistent.
