The primary reason the United States wanted an Open Door Policy with China was **to increase trade with China**. This policy aimed to ensure that all countries could trade equally in China, preventing any single nation from monopolizing trade there, thereby allowing the U.S. to expand its economic interests and access to Chinese markets.
