A. It failed to create a regional balance of power between China and Japan.

D. It led to increasing tensions between the U.S. and Japan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taft aimed to maintain the balance of power in Asia by supporting China’s ability to withstand Japanese interference in the region. At first, he was successful and helped the Chinese government to develop a good railroad industry. But he pushed the Open Door policy to Manchuria, which conflicted with the Japanese interests. Taft did not reach the power balance in the region and it also heightened tensions between Japan and the US. Japan eventually consolidated itself as the main Asian power.
