On March 12, members of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue — the United States, Japan, Australia and India — held a virtual meeting and released a joint statement reaffirming their commitment to “a region that is free, open, inclusive, healthy, anchored by democraticâ¯values, and unconstrained by coercion.”
At last, some good news when it comes to the rivalry with China.
The Quad is just what it says — four nations with mutual interests — gathering to discuss ways they can serve as a bulwark against China’s aspirations to be the sole Asian superpower and spread its repression beyond its borders.
