This is a political cartoon about the imperialism of China, in which the decline of the Qing Empire led to other world powers (like the US, Britain, France, Russia, etc.) to carve "spheres of influence" into the country. They forced China to sign treaties granting exclusive trading rights for each nation, taking away China's sovereignty.
