Brief Explanations

The Open Door Policy (1899 - 1900) was proposed by the United States. It aimed to ensure that all foreign powers had equal access to trade and investment opportunities in China. This policy discouraged the complete colonization and division of China among European powers (and other imperialist nations like Japan) as had happened in Africa. The Opium Wars (1839 - 1842 and 1856 - 1860) actually increased European influence in China (e.g., through unequal treaties). China's military was not superior to European (or African - facing European colonial) forces during the imperialist era. Mao Zedong's resistance against foreign intrusion was mainly in the mid - 20th century, long after the peak of the imperialist scramble for colonies (late 19th - early 20th century).

Answer:

the Open Door Policy was intended to make China available to all foreign powers.
